Amenity Unity

24 October 2016

“Come on in,” the water invited.

Gradually the gentle lappings

Reached my waist as we united

And liquid became my trappings.

The fluid bore me no ill per se.

Fear was generated by this desert rat’s

Lack of experience with ocean spray,

Having lived mostly in arid habitats.

The pool splashed in reaction to me.

My movements disturbed its tranquility,

But together we could exist in serenity

And my outlook changed for eternity.

Last Sunday after dinner at my nephew's, I played Star Wars Monopoly with him & his 2 oldest boys. Eventually I won and got to recite this poem.

I won, I won!
I'm number one!
It was hard won
But so much fun.
When all was said and done,
I'm the favorite son.
I won, I won!
I'm number one!
It was hard won
But so much fun.
When all was said and done,
I'm the favorite son.
I won, I won!
I'm number one!
It was hard won
But so much fun.
When all was said and done,
I'm the favorite son.
I won, I won!
Ad nauseam.

After all the action
I'm getting traction
From the satisfaction
Of your reaction.
From the composition
Of your disposition
It's an imposition,
I'll supposition.
In addition
I have a premonition
You'll commission
My verbal rendition
As future ammunition.
