Iceberg
I sat with my sister in the canoe,
Intensely watching an arctic fish swim below the surface;
Spiraling, scales shining beneath a midnight sun, teasing my hunger.
I slowly coiled my bone spear back,
Oblivious to my sister bending another fish in a bubble of nearly freezing water.
But then my spear's handle met my sister's bubble,
And I was doused in water with glacial temperature!
Both fish escaped, and then what happens?
We get caught in a current
and are crushed between two floating ice blocks.
If I've told her once,
I've told her a thousand times!
Don't buy canoes at Wal-Mart!
BUT NOOOO, she had a COUPON!
Well, my sister's attitude thrust itself on me,
And she threatened to…
How should I put this lightly? Hmmm.
She threatened to waterbend the crap out of me,
Just to paraphrase it for you.
But once again,
If I've told her once,
I've told her a thousand times!
Waterbending is extremely dangerous when you're PMSing.
My warnings were in vain,
I'm afraid.
She threw her fists back, and an iceberg
Cracked in two!
But this wasn't the amazing thing.
Thereafter, another iceberg emerged,
Glowing ominously with incandescent blue.
Inside it showed the form of a person.
My sister thought we had found the Avatar
Or something,
But I knew better!
What we had found,
Was an ICEBERG PINATA.
I told my ignorant sister the tale.
In ancient times,
People would place giant pieces of people-shaped
Chocolate into icebergs.
They would take a
Funny stick, and break it open.
Then they would eat
The chocolate people inside
LIKE CHOCOLATE CANNIBALS!
But it turns out it was the Avatar…
Pfft, no one takes me seriously anymore.
Moral of the story, I've been reduced to "comic relief character"
According to popular belief.
It sucks.
