Summer 2014
Grand Canyon
Colorado River
Night 6 of 7-day trip

Canyon Poetry
Talent Show
by Kelly Miragliotta, Carrie Anderson, and Trinity Esola

A little ditty about Paige and Leann
Two southern sisters exploring the Grand Can-yan

Makenzie got stung by some bees, 
and when she jumps off a waterfall, she is sure to tuck in her knees

Mary Catherine Gallagher is not the only Superstar
this M.C.'s side tube riding is very much on par

Patrice O'Neil is a very funny dude, 
but we've got Fire Raven who's still missing her special food

If the size of the rapids is what you need to know, 
then listen to the yells of our old friend JOOOOOOE

Carrie, Carrie, Carrie, she surely knows her scat
and when it comes to playing games, she is where the fun is AT

Trinity, you use your mad skills to scurry up that wall, 
but girl you win the award for the cutest camp of all

John is always ready to dive into the sand, 
and when it comes time to clean the raft, he lends a helping hand

Andy may be the youngest of us all, 
but this lucky lad has already been to the wondrous Taj Mahal

Mara, she sure keeps her brothers in check 
soon she will be in another National Park...what the heck?

Beth and Dennis got to make their Grand Canyon dream come true
It isn't their honeymoon, but better because they traveled with Mackenzie too! 

When Deanna's on the raft, we know where she'll be
In that little back room, drinking her TEA

Mike is the guy you'll find in the mud, 
when he's hiking the rocks, his throws will make a big thud

Ann is "Classy Canyon." For the next river trip, can we come shopping with you?
When we get back grab a newspaper, cuz you've got a lot of catching up to do

Hey Terry, what's the word?
Can you tell us...what's that bird?

Travis, Travis, sweet as can be, 
will you please read us some more of your poetry?

J.P. Silly, stupid, hold on tight and have a good day...
Leaves us all to wonder what the hell it means anyway

There's one person here who's always got your back, 
he's a gentleman, he's helpful, he's our good buddy Zack

Kelly, Kelly, she's so clutch
She gathered all of our e-mails, so we can keep in touch

When it comes to lifting heavy stuff Adam is your bro, 
You can find him in the "bathtub" with his fake GoPro

Papa Mike, he's been our 4th guide, 
he's a seasoned rafter along for the ride

If you get heat rash, Melinda will do the job, 
but if you have a shitload of asparagus, you can give it to Bob

Look who's snapping photos while climbing up that crevasse
Of course, it's Kristen because she's so BadASS

Jason, he's the first one to experience the rapids' power, 
cuz he's always sitting in the gosh darn SHOWER

Not only are they adventurous hikers
Scott and Kathy are also drummers and bikers

David and Pam Stung by a scorpion. Broken toe. 
How the hell did we not know?!

Soon we will part ways, and home we will be
In our hearts, we'll always remain a River Family


BUTT DAMN, we had a good time!
