Family Boat Fun

We bought us a boat, To have some family fun. Out in the water we put it to float, We're going to enjoy the sun. Sitting on the dock, The kids and I awaiting to get in. Looking around at the water and rock, Anticipating the adventure to begin. But to our suprise, What was to happen first. The sound of a heart-broken sigh, As the key broke and Jerry cursed. He tries for an hour, To get the engine to start again. Things keep going sour, As we have not left where we started to begin. Fish are swimming by, Almost laughing out loud. As our boat makes an ear-piercing screaching cry, This makes us all so proud. As this embarassment is not enough, We finally decide to give up. Back on the trailor is where we decide the boat should be, But oh no, this simple task couldn't go easy. Patience of all are worn with things going so rough, So another Mt. Dew we begin to sup. Then upon the trailor hitch Jerry we do see, But not for long, because it was way to greasy. With a giant splash, Into the water he went. As quick as a flash, He came out and was really bent. When to our suprise out of the water he come, With a fish in his shirt. The laughter was as loud as a bass drum, At how Jerry caught a fish and didn't get hurt.
