Stanzas III-V (lines 9-20)
I started off most eagerly:
grabbed tape and cardboard long and lean,
And as for style, I thought it wise
to draw a detailed nature scene.
Once done, I marveled at my work,
then took a peek around the room—
Oh no! My dad, my mom, and sister
all had boats ready to zoom!
I must have just lost track of time,
working to beautify my ride.
My boat had not a single sail
to catch the wind; I could have cried.
