I used to ride a raft
I knew it was coming
all the signs were there
plain as day.
Sitting outside beyond the break
(what am I doing there?)
we two travelers
unintentionally pushed into some communal space
requiring a polite attempt at conversation
The guy looks down at me
from atop his 9'6"
with four fins
and the after market turbo boost
it looks like he feeds it raw liver twice a day
Here it comes,
is it too late to paddle away?
"Yep, I used to ride a raft when I was a kid!"
Comments
one day I hope to be a professional liar in this same vein.
(Don't tell the kids)
I'd go into government work but there's too much competition.
but my log only has one fin
keep it coming
"Yes I used to ride stand up back in the 20th century!"
"A raft? Geez mate this is the 21st century get with it!"
"Catch me if you can on that Model T your're riding!"
"I'll let you have every 3rd wave if you like!"
