'twas a
sunny day
and it felt like May
tho' it was in late October
the sun it was warm
conditions were calm
so we ventured 'pon the water
with Sarah and Marne
what could go wrong?
everyone was smiling
we paddled about
as the tide drew out
then ran atop a piling
it was hidden from view
and it caught our canoe
we were stuck right in the middle
we worked to get off
but all hope was lost
we budged not even a little
we dug in real hard
and cried "Oh my God--
we're going in a circle!"

we tried
it again
and met the same end
nothing seemed to workle
for those on shore
who did not know the score
it must have looked a miracle
for a boat to spin
without moving an inch
is normally impossible
with the sea getting lower
we'd soon tip over
and take a turn for the worse
but then we escaped
with a mighty scrape
when we put it in reverse
we were floating again
but take heed my friend
if you want to get back home
when you're riding high
keep a watchful eye
for what might lurk below
