Tropical Island Experience

I awoke to find myself on a tropical island Searched and searched, feared I was alone Nothing but palm trees and scorching sand Was not afraid, for I was adventure prone. Made a shelter, put palm fronds o’er my head Found a small pond, and the water was good For without water I would soon be dead I needed to search, find out what I could. Mosquitos were the first to welcome me Biting and nipping, they wanted to stay So, I dug up some mud and oh so bravely Covered all my skin to keep them away Found some coconuts but couldn’t open one up Broke some rocks ‘till I had a sharp device After some muscle, I finally found some sup Ate the flesh, drank the milk, it was nice! But then came the runs, I needed some meat So, I broke some bamboo and made a sharp spear I could now fish, but they needed some heat Hard rocks struck together, made sparks appear. Piled up dried grasses and twigs made a fire But there was no one to share my lonely island And when my situation seemed the most dire Along came a bird, my loneliness lightened. Twas a colorful parrot, perched high in a tree And out of his mouth came the sound of talking At first I was so overwhelmed with great glee To him it was language, to me just squawking! Although not alone, I found food and shelter I had survived just fine, conquered all my fear And now I ask you, as I sit here and swelter… Please tell me, what stupid jerk put me here? 1/10/2017
