That double take at Crady Lake is one your won't forget...
And no one down in Yulee town considered such a threat...
So wide awake, that placid lake, one peaceful day became...
An eerie scene beyond a dream and gathered instant fame...
A day of fun had just begun when someone raised a cry...
Beyond the fog, a floating log had captured every eye...
The pace was slow, against the flow, it moved against the tide...
The thing was large, though not a barge, but big enough to ride...
We watched in awe as what we saw moved slowly into view...
We felt a dread--- because the head--- was staring at us, too...
A gator? No... and even though it had a moving tail...
The thing was weird; I really feared and felt myself grow pale
It moved around without a sound except a distant whine...
And what was this? A heavy hiss, sent shivers up my spine...
No one could tell what living hell was just about to start...
With fear inside I could not hide the beating of my heart...
But then I took a closer look, my head began to ache...
A poor design then told my mind---the monster was a fake!...
I felt relief from early grief and started to unwind...
And it was then a raging wind caused chaos in my mind...
Enormous force then changed the course; It rose into the sky...
And I, at once, became the dunce. Who knew that thing could fly!...
A sudden start that blew apart the monster---on that lake...
With sudden glee, it dawned on me to do a double take...
Some water jets with force that gets the Flyboard in the air...
A silly grin from deep within--- a grandson with a flair...
Each scene you see brings memory, as years go by and yet...
That double take at Crady Lake is one you won't forget...
