The water balloon fight

Got my water balloon in hand

More in a secret location

This is war

Every man for himself

Me against the neighborhood

This will be fun

We will all get soaked

Outside in the hot sun

A water balloon flies by

Barely missing

The thrower in sight

Splash

Contact

I run to the secret pile

Dodging balloons and getting wet

I make it

All the balloons are here

no one has found it yet

Two five gallon buckets

Attached to bungee cord

Pre-loaded

As the enemy approaches

I pull back one of the buckets

An attack of balloons go flying

String down the advancing numbers

Splash

Hit in the back

I spin around and launch the other bucket of balloons

Knocking some out of trees

Others in plain sight

Some kids hide behind parked cars

When I see them rise

I throw one water balloon after another

After awhile

And much much wetter

We decide to call a truce

Friends once more

With memories to last a life time
