Tributes To Self-Intoxicated Aqua-Lunged Nature's Character Of Metamorphic Spitefulness Poem by Erhard Hans Josef Lang

The first warm-weather weekend of spring
in the Driftwoods forest province way up
in upper central stretches of
beauteous Country of Thousand Lakes,
for once again,
came to be exceptionally gloomy.

Possibly as many as five human beings
lost their lives, drowning,
in different accidental events.

At Skiwalker Hills
the death of
two boat rowing men
was established.

Police and rescue crews,
on that first warm Saturday of the year, were
searching for
a man, slightly above 50 years of age,
who had been reported as missing the day before.
The rescue crew found the man' s dead body,
aided by observations done from an airplane.
During the time of the search
the emergency centre received informations about someone
shouting for help, heard about the northern parts of that same lake.
In the area, where the shouts for help came from,
an elderly man who likewise drowned
was found.
He had left for fishing earlier
that day in the morning.

According to Skiwalker Hills police both men
were in rowing boats
whilst on the water.
The occured incidents altogether, however, came of their own accord.

Two other searches were also going on
that same day.

In the community neighbouring to Skiwalker Hills,
at Cracklecreek,
The whole day long
A fisherman,
whose boat was seen afloat empty,
Was searched for
by sifting the waters with a net.
The fisher nets were yet tied to the boat by its strings..

In another county neighbouring to Skiwalker Hills,
At Acorn Rapids,
likewise on Saturday evening,
a search for an angler went on,
that man' s boat, too, having been spotted empty.

At Pole Waters, in the evening,
a little girl fell into the water,
Fire brigaders resuscitating the girl,
helicopter ' Lord of the Air' taking her up and away for treatment.
