I hate it when people call for help hurriedly. And people who laugh and scream while they drift.

“Darling, have you noticed the boat is turning over?”
“Yes, I have.”
“Shall we call for help?”
“Not just yet. Let’s give it a minute. We don’t want to hurry.”
“I imagine we will either be laughing or screaming when this is over.”

‘Really??’

“Yes — but only while rowing the boat.”

I suppose saying that your boat “lashed the beach” maintains a little dignity after running aground

Talking out of turn? That’s a paddlin’.
Lookin’ out the window? That’s a paddlin’.
Staring at my sandals? That’s a padddlin’.
Paddlin’ the school canoe? Oh, you better believe that’s a paddlin’

“Row left and right while the boat is stranded”. Those darn boats are blocking the traffic! Rowing on the road goes very slow, and yet they keep rowing!

There’s no Earthly way of knowing…
how to care for you when we are rowing
Or which way the river’s flowing…
sit hold fast as steam is drifting
Is it raining
Is it snowing
Is this boat unhurriedly overturning

Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Is the grisly reaper mowing?

Yes! The danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing…
left and right stranded but not showing
Any signs that they are slowing!
