This weekend we celebrated Memorial Day at my parents ™ house.
They live on Eagle Mountain Lake.
First came this ¦

And then this ¦

Yep, I backed over the tow rope which caused one end to lodge itself into the jet ski motor rendering it useless until someone does major surgery on the motor ¦that someone is my dad.
And so we needed to get the jet ski out of the water to be able to fix what I had done ¦
OH! Feel free to sing along ¦
There was Holly’s dad who saw her back over a rope.
I dunno why she backed over that rope,
She felt like a dope.

There was Holly’s dad who backed up a trailer,
That slipped and slid and got stuck trying to save her.
He backed up the trailer to salvage the rope.
But I dunno why she backed over that rope.
She felt like a dope.

There was Holly’s dad who backed up a tractor,
Forgetting the MUD FACTOR he backed up a tractor.
He backed up the tractor to catch the trailer,
That slipped and slid and got stuck trying to save her.
He backed up the trailer to salvage the rope.
But I dunno why she backed over the rope.
She felt like a dope.

There was Holly’s dad who backed up his vette.
Don’t lament! He backed up his vette.
He backed up his vette to catch the tractor ¦
He backed up the tractor to catch the trailer,
That slipped and slid and got stuck trying to save her.
He backed up the trailer to salvage the rope.
But I dunno why she backed over that rope.
She felt like a dope.

Update: My dad called tonight an reported that the ropotomy went well. He was able to dislodge it from the motor and return the jet ski without incident to the lake.
