Limerick by Don Schauber

  

(Steve didn't see two guys in a little boat, was zooming by and accidentally sent a big wake to their boat- he always slows way down for fisherman and kayakers- he was screaming "I'm sorry"  We always call Don every night to tell him about the day and how far we got- here is his latest limerick!)

REVELATION

It's was March 31 and a fine, fine day,

When the Captain and Mate got underway,

Seems they left Canaveral just in time,

Not to be charged with a capital crime,

There are obvious omissions from the ship's log,

About screaming Kayakers left strewn in the fog,

So there slow and little and have no lights,

These little people still have their rights.

Also, two soul brothers picked a quiet place to fish,
A snook or cat was there only wish,
Not knowing the Captain wild with speed,
Traversed the channel very reckless indeed,
As they waved he sent a wake you wouldn't believe,
Exclaiming "here's a present from Captain Steve"

He suddenly realized as they called back in fear,

"We aint doin nothing man we just fishin here".

They clung and they clawed to stay afloat,
And shouted and cursed at that big, bad boat,
They didn't know as they began to bail,
That the Captains nerves were rattled and frail,
He meant no malice and flashed a peace sign,
They waved him back one finger this time.

Along with those kayakers raising a wail,

You had to be careful if you crossed his trail.

The Captain calmed down with help of is mate,

Explaining to him redemption can come late,

" I'll  change my ways I see the light",

Those little boats didn't come here to fight.

He contemplated life as the bridges passed by,

Proud with his promise to try, try, try.

No more speeding as he notched his oar,

Kayakers zero ......Captain Steve got four.

LOVE YOU GUYS ...... KEEP ON TRUCKIN.

ALWAYS.....DON&JENNY
