dampened the earth

enlivened the spirits

of sharing a moment

in the rain

together with loved ones

smiles under

colorful umbrellas

i heard laughter in the rain

i heard singing in the rain

i saw dancing in the rain

i, myself,

danced in the rain

under a large canopy

on a wet floor

and felt the

warmth of love

and celebration

this was true joy

and I was grateful to be

a part of such an event

*FLOURISH

here on hebgen lake

just sit right back

and you'll hear a tale

a tale of an eventful trip

it started on hebgen lake
aboard a wooden dock

the mates were mighty sailing men

the skipper's boat strong and sure

five passengers set sail that day

for a thirty minute tour
 a thirty minute tour

 the weather started getting rough

the ski/wake surf boat tossed

if not for the courage of  fearless crew

(aunt michelle...just calm down...you can do this)

the boat would be lost

the boat would be lost

the boat set ground on the shore of

this uncharted
jenn's hill

with the michael dude

the skipper too

the unmillionaire and her son

the movie star

(version one)

(version 2)

and

the graduate and eagle scout

here on hebgen lake
so this is the tale of the castaways
that would love to stay for a long, long time
they'll have to make the best of things

it's an uphill climb

the host and hostess
will do their very best

to make the others comfortable

in the cabin and forrest

so join us here each year my friends

you are sure to get a smile

from all the guests and family

here on hebgen lake
*PARODY
*a humorous imitation of something
that falls short of the real thing
in this case "The Gilligan's 
Island" theme song
