Mature Women Versus the Water Park

The lazy river wasn’t so lazy In fact, you might say, it drove us crazy What’s with the waterfalls and toddlers screaming? I looked at my partner; she wasn’t beaming Thunder Rapids left us doomed in darkness Why did we think this ride would be harmless? Two eight-foot drops suspended us mid-air As two mature ladies, we had quite the scare The Serpentine Serpent was a near-drowning As huge blasts of water our lungs were downing Nearly toppling as on our sides we raced our tube My friend Sandra lost her balance in this jiffy-lube Finally we headed for the “kiddy-land” ride Where upon a thin sponge we did slip and slide Too fast on one corner, Sandra flew For shoulder repair, she needed “super glue” Who’d believe a water park could render such pain They carried us out on an “old folks” crane Never to return, we vowed that day This is a park where only “kids” should play *Co-written with a super, but non-Souper, friend on April 15, 2015, less than a week after the true experience as we recover in ICU ;D
