Water Skiing

As I jump into the water the drops bubble down my face.
I am so nervous I need to win this race.
As I get ready for the starting gun.
This race is going to be bowls of fun.
As the weight of my ski is pounding on my feet .
I am in the lead I can’t bare to be beat.
As I am focusing on the back of the boat .
Trying hard not to fall over and float .
As I ski with great speed.
I’ve done it I have won the lead.
