Tropical Storm Debby

                                           Nothing like working on a boat in this

                                           No more docks

                                           No more seawall

                                            My boat in the haulout

                                           Lots of water

                                            And more water

                                           If it gits any higher we can git in ted irwin boat

                                           Knot this way safe and sound

                                           Man i need a boat to git to work

                                                                     seriously
