Swamp Thing

China made my canoe which I proudly adored Flotation and recreation all on the creek shores The day was right cool The water icy below and a sudden rupture Sent me into the swampy muck Slick as an oily tool attended fish school My feet had no traction and caused a change reaction No leverage --spilled my good beverage Never depend on a chinese rubber air canoe Or you just might loose a shoe!! **well I guess it is done ;-]

YES, ME LIKES it a lot now. Love that line, oily tool attended fish school. Quite unique, doris! And I sure don't know anything about chinese rubber air canoes, but I sure don't want to try one. haha
