Notes About The Poem

Wahine Grannie

Flat on her stomach Grannie rode
her adrenalin overflowed 
	she went in style 
	with a big smile
into the paddle battle she flowed

The heart of an ancient wahine
she called her personal genie
	a goofy foot true
	she already knew
she’d forgotten her bikini

Grannie won the right of way
a righteous spot they all say
	her stick’s outline
	her own design
shaper champion this day

Congrats on your winning limericks, Linda. I wish the sponsor had made it clear that we could write more than one. She stated 'a' limerick. Yours were well done.
