SeaDoo

When I heard you were getting a jet ski,
I got scared you'd get hurt

When you asked me to ride with you,
I said no.

When I gave in to your plees and rode,
I had a blast.

When I drove,
I was scared.

When I got the hang of it and jumped the waves,
it was a rush.

When we go back out,
I want to ride again.

I know you'll have that thing for years to come,
but promise me when your son comes along and rides,
you'll keep him safe.

For now, it's fun to ride
and fun to drive.

But the fun can end if you're not
too safe.

We will have fun
for those years to come.

Author notes

Justin bought a SeaDoo the other day and it was still in the crate. He didn't get it until the next day because they had to put it together. We took out on Friday to the lake and rode it. He was the first one to own it and the first one to ride it. I was a little scared, but his dad said I could ride him and it was fun. Justin sounded hurt when he handed me his vest. I ended up riding with him and even rode. We all had fun.
