Playing At the Lake

The lake is just so pretty today, I don’t want to leave; Playing out in the splashing spray, Mom, Dad, Me and Steve! Catching catfish off the dock, And putting them on ice; I even jumped in off Cliff Rock, Not just once but twice; Zeus and Eos splashing around, Chasing waves as they roll in; Then rolling around on the ground, Their faces with a silly grin; The water is so clean and clear, And not too cold or hot; Kicking back with an ice cold beer, Man that hit’s the spot; We want to swim to Kettle Top, But it’s just so far away; Into the sand, now I drop, I think it’s here I’ll stay; Stretched out on the sand, Soaking up the sun; The perfect book in my left hand, Until the day is done; And as we pack up all our gear, I look back over the lake; At the landscape that can be severe, From the Butte down to the wake!
