Tubing Down the Natchez River

28

Sam Adams
Age 17

Was enjoying a summer day
Tubing down the Natchez River
Enjoying some
river fun
With his two brothers

Who normally did not get along
But today they had fun together

While playing with the
elastic band
Of a balloon while tubing along
The river
In Eastern Washington.

In the shadows
of the
Cascade Mountains
and Mt. Rainier National Park.

When they finished tubing
They stopped off for a
pizza slice
In Yakima.

Ordering
The meat lovers super supreme

Bacon, ham, hot dog meat
Pepperoni, salami, Spam
Sausage, steak
Topped with grated cheese
Olives, Jalapeno pepper slices,
And tomato.

Life was good
Thought Sam.


Use in your poem or story the following - bold for tomorrow's judge

elastic
grated cheese
pizza slice
cascade
river fun
