Saturday In Spencer

I went to see a friend I had not seen in a while As the day began I was greeted with smiles The sun was so bright, the sky so blue It seemed like a dream but really was true. We decided to put the boat in the lake I think of it now it was such a mistake As we backed the boat down it flew off the trailer The result was the launch was a total failure. I was standing behind it and just escaped harm As it slid towards me I envisioned buying the farm I saw my life just flash before my eyes I had to save myself but time just flies. We spent hours trying to fix all that was broken It was like being in a dream and being suddenly awoken Nothing was damaged except maybe our pride Maybe tomorrow we shall go for that ride? As we towed the boat back it took all that we had But when it was all over I kind of felt glad I’m lucky to be here to write this down So we decide to get something to eat in town. We went to this place and the food was great We talked and we ate but it was getting late We all saw how we escaped from fate So we gave thanks and wiped clean the slate. On the way home the sun started to set The colors streaked the sky where the horizon met The stars and the moon came out to shine I’m lucky to be here and I felt just fine. We had a couple beers and thought how lucky we were You never can know what’s coming that’s for sure I just know managed to walk away again Today I survived with some help from my friend.
