An Ode To Melon Royalty

by anonymous

They gathered 'round on Independence Day

in mounted anticipation

Enjoying their lunches and stopping in

at the food and the beverage stations

Then the melon boys with pride walked in

to present to the melon king

the melons from which he would have to choose

to be tossed in the champions ring

With a towel and and some grease on the diving board

and his head quite formally dressed

the crowd grew quiet and the silence roared

as the melon there he blessed

Then with a toss into the middle

from his knees from total respect

The first melon splashed into the pool

as they gathered around the deck

First came the queen quite readily found

as with power and speed and grace

She swam and controlled her coronating melon

and tossed it into it's place

The tension mounted, the older boys gathered

in hopes of becoming young men

for they knew of the pride and stature earned

if the melon crown they'd win

Then with the word go the battle was on

But not long did they stay in the pool

for the king from way back proved that he still had it

And for no-one he'd play the fool

Oh somewhere in this hallowed land the sun is shining bright

And somewhere men and women are crowned in dreams which are theirs in the night

But in this little hamlet, where only the finest of finest win

Lori Warren stands as our Melon Queen, and Gary's the KIng again.

Long Live the King!
