"Floating down the Creek"

Floating down the creek,

Floating down the creek on a patched enter tub, was one of the most fun things to do in the summer time. When that became too easy, you looked for water that was swifter and deeper. Now you have grown into a professional and you are surfing the oceans and the wild rivers of the land.  You’ve heard about clubs and how they participate in competition and you are now on your way to surf down one of the wildest rivers in the USA.

No name are to be given of where these locations are, until relatives of the bodies found, are notified. Yes, one of the group is missing and a search is in progress. Days have gone by and no sign of a body has been found as yet.

The number of these accidents can be tenfold across the country on any given day, in the summer months.  In one place, they installed a net and recovered seven bodies in one day. Not one fish was found in the net, I wonder why?

Four of the bodies were all tangled together, they must have been Democratic and Republicans Senators, as they each had their hands in someone else’s pockets!  One was a women that served on the local City Console, it looked like someone set her wagon on fire. One was a little guy, could have been an Elf from the South Pole. Note; I said the South pole. It was near impossible to tell much about the last guy, He still had a big smile on his face

 Do you still think this would be a fun sport, and that you will be able to win over the violence of old Mother Nature?  When she is angry she becomes very angry and destructive. One has to be a bit retarted to put their family in a boat or on a raft and shoot the rapids, on a river like the wild Colorado River, and there are others!

 If someone in your family needs to be baptized, do in a church baptismal, where it is safe.  Of course some people only take a bath, maybe once or twice a year and it will take a strong current to loosen the crust, and chip it away.  Finding white skin under all that dirt and scales is often a reason to celebrate. That is, if you are more than a little involved with a certain person. 

 Have you any idea just how many empty bathing suites are found floating down a stream or a river? Most of them fit so tight, how can one be lost. Yet, there are others that have so little material, they can hardly be seen. Must be because, there is more fun, than what meets the eye, on some outings. Hey, wait for me, I want to have some fun also!

Rain, rain, everywhere and I don’t have a suit, a boat or an enter tube.  I do have a beach towel that has never been we used. I laid it on the grass once, for a moon light lunch, but the girl refused to lay down on it. Said it wasn’t proper for a lady to do things like that. That was okay with me, I ate all the sandwiches, chicken, salads and other stuff by myself, while she "walked herself home."

 The Fourth of July is just around the corner. What are you going to bring in your food basket? I don’t care for wine, but cold beer would be nice! Bring along an umbrella to keep the sun off my back, I burn so easily.
