Barnett Bash

On May 2nd we headed off to the Barnett bash

and once again had a fantastic crash,

so we turned around to re-run our race

but still came out in the very first place.

Then off the weary paddlers went to race number two

but at the finish line our spirits were quite blue

for we didn’t hear the horn toot for the start

what we heard sounded more like a weak fart.

Despite all our trials and tribulations

we still made it to the silver eliminations

We paddled our hearts out, it was something to see

and ended up in a respectable place number three

But the race we had all been anticipating

the four senior’s teams were anxiously awaiting.

We had Dorothy at the front and Doug at the rear

and several team members on the dock to cheer.

We shot off at the start line ahead of the pack

and paddled our hearts out with no looking back,

neck and neck we raced hard to the end

since we had our reputation to defend.

We crossed the finish line slightly behind the team in yellow

but were heartily congratulated by many a fellow

and as we stumbled to the shore with smiles on our faces

we were patted on the back by our competitor racers.
