Whoa, ship ahoy, girls can play this game.
So we’re not a boy, we’ll win just the same.
Yo, like Hatfield/McCoy, choose sides, your name.
Go balloon convoy, water’s our claim to fame.
Though the weapon’s a toy, take careful aim;
Throw smart, redeploy or we'll lose in shame.
No fair playing coy or casting blame;
Slow down and enjoy the reason we came.
What's to win (or lose) in water balloon fights.

Sell me a toy boat or a boy goat
Make that one boy goat, two toy boats
No: Two boy goats, one toy boat
Wait. Make it one boy goat named Roy Oates
Ha, ha: Back again with soy oats
Soy oats for boy goats, not for toy boats
Toy boats, not boy goats, deploy decoy floats
So, that's two toy boats, one toy goat
~ A coy note: Redeploy McCoy groats for soy oats
