Experience intense outbursts,

strong emotions,

and moments of overwhelming love.

Discover your aqueous nature,

(Not MY posterior….we won’t divulge that sensitive information here, but YOU know who you are…)

and develop sea legs,

Learn the secrets of great fishermen,

including enticing lures, (that also work for unsuspecting, trusting children).

Play with fire

and wield dangerous weapons.

Play fetch

and catch,

Avoid strange men in the woods,

no matter how good-looking.

Photograph small, napless children

and attempt to capture a smile.

Enjoy good conversation.

Sit back,

relax,

and have a great time.
