The absolute best summer of my life

Salt River

I NEVER had before this day, such joy!

No clue what we're about to do, so nuts!

Unknown but YES! Super-hyped nonetheless

4-hour ride, on rubber tubes, say wwhhaat?!

The coolers get their own floating device

With hundreds of partiers throwing beers

Cold ones appear and not know from which way

Wuuzzzuuup. Wuuuzzzzuuuuup! Was the greeting with cheers

Pull over on beaches to take some rays

Or climb the cliffs and dive into the deep

Learned from others, be prepared to show up

The next time go all out and not go cheap

Floating home stereo, a fridge with taps

Transforms into a grill, table for craps

About the Creator

Rick Lualemana

I always knew there was something there with my writing but never pursued it because it wasn't cool or tough. After finding my faith in the middle of the pandemic last year, fears and worries are out the door, replaced with confidence.
