Target practice, aiming high
shoot these stones and watch them fly
see them hit and watch them fall
dropping bottles, one and all.
Line them neatly in a row
dented plastic, all will go
crashing quickly to the ground
with this new skill that I have found.
Knock them over, stack them up
once again, I just can't stop
precision like you've never seen
to rival Katniss Everdeen.
She had an arrow and a bow,
I begged my dad but he said no
cause with an aim as true as mine
he thinks I'd end up doing time!
So pebbles, sticks and bits of string,
who knew the fun these things could bring?
the satsisfaction is quite grand
to fell these items with my hands.
I love to see my Dad impressed
because he is the very best
but even with his throwing arm
he cannot hit the neighbours barn!
and so I laugh and love to tease
while sitting here beneath the trees
he tries to make an angry face
but laughter cracks it with quick pace.
So I call him my " Bottle Boy"
shout "line them up" just to annoy
and shoot those bottles to the ground
another favourite pastime found.
Sometimes simple is fun too. Although I will admit to rolling my eyes when Dad first suggested it!
