My Kayak

I grab my paddle and life vest To do the thing that I like best I put it in the Puget Sound And ride my kayak all around I take it out for exercise I roll it over should it capsize I’ve paddled it far off the shore I’ve paddled near orcas before My kayak and I go far To places you can’t reach by car In the shell I carry things That any other camper brings I have a kayak I use for fun It’s a single, built for one I have another made for two Big enough for me and you If you’d like to give it a try I’ll make sure that you stay dry Sit up front, the view is clear I’ll sit in back so I can steer Some like cars and some like planes Some like bikes and some like trains But for the ride that I like best I grab my paddle and life vest

Nicely done! There are just so many forms of transportation and I definitely wouldn't have had this one in mind. Congratulations on a win in this contest.
