MR. R. FROM SURVIVOR

Although he could not swim

he felt he must try

lessons to teach before the show

then came the day it made me almost cry.



He had to jump from a cliff

now that was no easy task

then swim to the trunk with blankets

only then in glory could you bask.



He seemed to be somewhat worried

as anyone with a brain might be

but he was the man and got the job done

they did not win but from the situation he did not flee.



I was proud for him in many ways

but the one that sticks out most

I do not swim that well either

I am haunted by an old ghost.



He did not let his fear best him at all

in fact he put his trust in the Great Spirit

awesome when you have such relationship

you can tell when it is a natural fit.



He did what he had to do, took to the air like a bird

hit the water with a big ol' splash then up like a float

they called his name, gave him support all the way

for real team spirit he gets my undying vote.



Then on to the "eating something wild" part of the show

things that natives of the out back might eat

intestins, brains, worms, and other such goodies

oh they had a slice of apple and a small bite of candy bar... neat.



Well it seems that some could not handle the free food they were offered

but when it came down to it they did the job except for one girl

when it was Mr. R's turn, the table was spun and he got the candy bite

to me that says do your job and I'll make sure that on national TV you wont hurl.



So my hat is off to the man from the midwest

man he go far in this game of chance and wits

I hope to see him at the end of the show

let them vote off one of those real twits.
