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.
Oh wow, you got stuck?? How awful! I'm glad you reached shore safe and sound!
ReplyDeleteHaha, loved your little poem. How sad, though!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE Alex's face!!! Hahaha! Priceless. SO sorry you got stuck.
ReplyDeleteLOL, you made me laugh with your sorry excursion!
ReplyDeletethis why i never get on boats and leave the shore..scary
ReplyDeleteNext time check your Happenings Book for a boat rental place. I think they have everything in that book.
ReplyDeleteBut I bet the kids had a blast anyway, right?
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! That was the best poem ever!!
ReplyDeleteOh no, oh no...
ReplyDeleteIt cannot be...
A boat ride from heck,
And with little ones, three!
I'm sorry it broke down,
I'm sure you were stunned.
So give them back the coupon,
and ask for a refund!
:)
Oh my goodness that is so awful...but hilarious the way you put it into a poem!
