Canoeing

Two people in a canoe
It is both their first time
One of them is nervous
The other is being calm

One seated in the back
The other in the front
Each one has a paddle
So the journey begins

The paddle goes in the water
Then the paddle comes out
One of them h]gets wet
From the wet paddle

Going into the water
Then coming out wet
One of them is very wet
Cooled off from the sun

Sounds like a wonderful way to spend a summer day... Canoeing is something I have not done before, but your poem put me right in the middle of the fun! Very nice work Darlene!
