A Living Social Boat Ride

There once was a family looking for fun

A boat ride" mom said to everyone!

Everyone clapped and quickly agreed,

A great deal obtained through Living Social by me.

The family was all ready to go

With grandma and grandpa also in tow.

We slowly backed away from the dock

A cellphone, drinks and snacks in stock.

We cruised around the harbor hardly making a wake,

5 mph was all this boat could take.

The kids all took turns one,
Two,

Three,
Everyone was so happy, including me

But then a sputter, a cough and some smoke

This was not funny- it wasn't a joke!

We shut off the engine, we did it quick.

How did we get this boat? What an awful pick.

Without oars or paddles we were just a floating duck.

We bumped into a wall and a boat-what bad luck!

A call was made- eventually rescue came

We were towed back to dock, oh the shame!
They said they were sorry and gave us our coupon back

And said come again- yea we'll see about that.
