...strictly FICTION...thanks all...

My compass spinning My head around whirring Drank too much & toked a bone What the hell did I do with the key Could it off the boat have flown… The weather was prime Though storms were predicted at night Home by sunset I would have been If my key had not taken flight… It got darker and on the radio I called The Coast Guard got the message But busy they most assuredly were The first clap of thunder did give me a fright… Unanchored and adrift I hoped towards the shore I was aiming I can’t pull start the motor Will I die tonight…? © ed J 5/12/08

Fiction? Maybe, but there's a whole lot of truth in being desperate and writing about it. It's better to think about it and try to come up with a way to get out of this mess we are in. In this case, how to get to shore without a key when were up a creek without a paddle.

Dear lill'brother that's not a boat that's an uncooked pancake that possible can float on you lawn. That was a bad grass (in your lawn)

I've found myself stranded with my brother several times. Both times the Cost Guard towed us in. You just don't play while boating. It's a dangerous game.
Blessings and love,
Susan
