The Great Big Water Sports Adventure
I’m in a canoe.
I’m hurtling down the river.
I’m in a kayak.
The water makes me shiver.
I’m on a ship.
I’m crashing through the oceans.
I’m on a yacht.
I’m going through the motions.
I’m on a raft.
I’m paddling rapids of white water.
Mum shouts upstairs
and tells me that I ought to
get out of the bath.
The ceiling’s leaking.
I’m hurtling down the river.
I’m in a kayak.
The water makes me shiver.
I’m on a ship.
I’m crashing through the oceans.
I’m on a yacht.
I’m going through the motions.
I’m on a raft.
I’m paddling rapids of white water.
Mum shouts upstairs
and tells me that I ought to
get out of the bath.
The ceiling’s leaking.
