Water Skiing, Tribute To Maggie

~Water Skiing,Tribute to Maggie~ Ah, indeed a summer teenage delight! My Cousin Maggie assured me, would make a water skier of me. Ah, my young heart lost all frightening premontions and took a soaring flight. I sat on the pier, she threw me the dauntful handle and rope. Fear seized me, realizing the moment to ski was indeed, here! Her husband, Jim, was captain of the speed boat and cheered! It was time for me to move my trembling, young rear! I stood up and was on my way, Woo-hoo and hip-hip-hooray! At last, I was like everyone else. Ecstatic with the water and the speedboat as it propelled! Alas, glory and triumph divine, were not to be mine. For I fell forward on my face! And with silly pride, still held onto the rope. Dragged through Lake Como, Me ~"Dope on a Rope!" My Cousin Maggie, yelling loudly: "Let Go! Let Go!" I must have been in stupefaction! Like a languid teenage halibut, I let go of that rope. But nonetheless,bobbing up and down in great, jubilant summer most memorable, satisfaction! August 26, 2019 1:30pm PST
