The Frisbee
On a camping trip
my brother and me
invented the Frisbee.
Frisbees that spin as they fly,
as they zoom, as they dip.
A Frisbee: it’s a disc, a satellite,
a UFO, a spaceship.
The Frisbee – it looks like it should hum
or whirr or buzz.
It doesn’t even whisper. It flies and spins:
That’s what it does.
On a camping trip
my brother and me
invented the Frisbee.

I was seven my brother was eleven.
We were washing the dishes:
thin, lightweight picnic plates.
My brother and me got bored.
It was getting late.
So we started throwing plates,
plates that spin as they fly,
as they zoom, as they dip.
Look! That plate is a disc
a satellite, a spaceship.
A plate that looks like it should hum
or whirr or buzz.
It doesn’t even whisper. It flies, it spins:
That’s what it does.
No one knows my brother and me
invented the Frisbee,
on a camping trip
in 1953.
Because we didn’t ever tell anyone that that’s what we did.

I will ‘look around’ for the key words ‘invent’, ‘brother’ and ‘Frisbee’. I can see that the two boys invented the Frisbee while they were camping. I will ‘find and take’ the answer: on a camping trip.
