Canoe and Kayak Store, opened their door, And started an event; Ronnie's dream: to gather his team, And party with intent. The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew, The paddlers began to rise; 'Though they were tired, they felt inspired, With eyes upon the prize. The team appeared all chilly eared, But OzDz brought salvation; Her wooly hats for river rats, Were perfect for the occasion. The trades came in, to help them win; Wave Sport, Palm and more; They were set up to help build-up, Excitement on the shore. The first event to cause a dent, In prides and boats combined; The boater-cross, a shared ethos, Of matter over mind. Next the freestyle brought a smile, To boaters and their crowd; Loops and twirls from boys and girls, Left Ronnie feeling proud. He saw his dream was being seen, Before his very eyes; The real win was clear to him, Smiles all round - his prize. |
