The Island

A month ago we began a journey into the unknown
Bear Grylls took us to an island previously unshown
We had ups, we had downs,
we had smiles, we had discontent faces
Do you remember the thirst?
Its was the worst!
And of all the deprivations that was only the first
I started to think we needed a nurse
But we had Buck, our doc,
to whom very little was a shock
Next, we went from extreme hunger
to nearly needing a plunger
Remember all the things we ate?
So many creatures found their untimely fate
We lost Taylor, and our brethren along the way
Mikey, our man, Deveon, Ernie and Trey
We kept them in mind as we pushed forward
Every step dizzy and vision blurred
We built shelters and kept the fire
We invented a coconut maker built of chicken wire
We set traps and checked the net
Whether we'd eat tomorrow was anyone's bet
But we kept positive, maintained the hope
We learned there was very few struggles with which we could not cope
Last but not least, there's my boy, Rob
You always had your mancard, no matter how much you sobbed.
