A Topical Adventure in Paradise: By Kelly Richardson

It was a bright sunny morning when we jumped in the car

And headed to Branson because it's not very far!

We had our swimsuites on, and smiles on our face

We were so excited to go visit this place

A fun and new world, where the sunshine was warm

Oh the fun we'd have while the water would swarm

Around and around we'd lay in that river

As we bronzed ourselves, oh yes every sliver

We kept the sandwhiches tucked safely away in the car

Even though they were in the parking lot we knew they weren't far!

So we twirled and we swirled around that amazing park

We knew that we could run and frolick straight through to dark

We found a round tube, and joyously rode the waves

Finding that tube was definitely Megan's fave!

Then off in the distance there was a dark dark sight

Rain clouds were coming, come this way they just might

But the rain could not take away our great day of fun

You see we'd already loved every moment of our day in the sun

The food that we packed, and the fun rides

From the big wave pools rippling tides

To the water that sometimes went where it wasn't supposed to go

To awesome speedos and tattoos that really put on a show!

So here is to our day of tropical adventure in paradise

White water you rock our faces off, we're telling no lies!
