The day broke windless and bright
and we knew this was water’s beckoning
so we tossed the kayaks with all our might,
climbed aboard and made a dead reckoning
into the water among the big boys and girls.
We paddled enjoying simple thrills.
Tired, exhausted was soon our plight;
we would not kayak into the night,
so we tossed them on top the car
and celebrated at a favorite micro-brew bar.
