SSSS-Seminole Sunshine State Success Stand
Loosely Inspired And Submitted To The Road Drops Here Challenge

Exhausted from South Florida bull
Having thunderous pull
A Seminole glided through the everglades
Pretending having it made
Garnet and gold
Very young, not that old
Attitude bold
Airboat swelled faster
When Seminole increased the blaster
Until a gator reserved a wake
Human remains the predator, wanted to bake
Surfacing, showing a glare
Hungry eyed stare
“Hey Indian giver
I want your liver
Sliced
Diced
Serving sauteed onions, would be nice”
Gator, enthusiastically exclaim
‘Remove Seminole out of life’s game’
“Not here never”
Academic Seminole increased the mechanical lever
Leaving the gator to sit there and wait
Realizing the Seminole did not take the bait
Clouds grey thoughts anger grew
Seminoles adventure not through
Lightning struck
Shining message, ‘you need big Bucs'
Hurricane force winds
Are encouraging diplomatic fins
To give Seminole a deal
Tempting and real
Reside promoting a hard rock
Seminole stock
Critics advise invest
Is the best
Feed on grilled jaguar
If Seminole allows the hire
“But I do not like South Florida bull
And its pull”
Seminole confessed
About this new address
Looking to impress
During a job interview test
Surrendering, under corporate arrest
Finding a safe port
Seminole hit land, built a fort
When a city beautiful knight
Emotional romantic armor, worn very tight
Emerged, appearing, invading Seminole’s sight
“What world are you from?”
Seminole quizzically welcomed
Unfazed adding potential salary income
Sum
“What are you dumb?”
Knight replied
Luring Seminole, onto an amusement ride
“Land of make believe”
Knight decreed
“Do you dare
Enter my care
And we can share
Our true feelings
Watching parental guiders wheeling
And dealing”
“I will accept that contract”
Seminole permanently unpacked
Setting down the warrior spear
Dispensing any fear
Arriving at adulthood
Seminole credible and good
Joining work buddies downing Busch Garden’s beer
Before signing here
A coupling pairing agreement, brewed using love
White and innocent, imitating a peaceful dove
Satisfying the Gov
Jetting away
Enjoying another sunshine state day
