River's Wild

Verse

There’s been a lotta chatter, ‘round the office halls,

About a little contest that had us all enthralled.

Back in mid-May, the challenge was clear,

Guess the river’s peak date—bring the bragging near!

Verse

Spring gave us fifteen-five on April fourteen,

Then summer dried up, barely a stream.

By September’s end, it was nearly gone,

Jacob and Robert looked like they'd won.

Chorus

But oh—October had a twist in the tale,

Like Game 7 magic, with the wind in its sail.

Lightning struck, and the skies opened wide,

Over 80 mils of rain came ridin’ the tide.

Verse

Flows started risin’, like a comeback song,

By October 20th, they were surgin’ strong.

Fifteen-point-six at eleven A.M.,

A new peak crowned, and the game flipped again.

Bridge

For 189 days, the lead held tight,

But Vivian guessed October—and she guessed it right!

Only one to bet on fall’s surprise,

Now she’s sippin’ coffee with victory in her eyes.

Chorus

So raise a mug to the QA/QC crew,

Vivian and Mike, this one’s for you!

Mike came close with September’s end,

A second-place win, like a true river friend.

Outro

Thanks to all who played the game,

The river’s wild, never stays the same.

From spring to fall, it kept us guessin’,

The Whitemouth’s flow—now that’s a lesson!
