Hey, we always said there would be a variety of posts here. This is something I concocted during my lifeguard days. Childish....but true... And no comments on the graphic depiction of the vicitm's nipples. Based on a true story...

Drowning

The pool was inviting
The water looked exciting
The females were delighting
In the warm summer sun

I slipped into the pool
The water was so cool
All the girls made me drool
In the warm summer sun

I saw the vast hoard
Going off of the diving board
So to it I went toward
In the warm summer sun

Then I saw this chick
And my heart she did prick
So I wanted to do some great trick
In the warm summer sun

The board was very high
This dumb trick I was going to try
So off the end I did fly
In the warm summer sun

So from the board I did jump
And my head I did bump
Creating quite a lump
In the warm summer sun

The blood then did flow
And the lifeguard then did know
That to the bottom I would go
In the warm summer sun

The whistle three times blew
And to the water he flew
To save he knew not who
In the warm summer sun

My lungs had no air
And at the surface I did stare
Longing to be there
In the warm summer sun

My limp body he retrieved
The crowd was so relieved
Drowning I had never conceived
In the warm summer sun

He pulled me to the side
I knew I’d almost died
To give words of thanks I tried
In the warm summer sun

This kid just saved the day
For not a whole lot of pay
Then he just walked away
In the warm summer sun

After him I did look
As he hung his whistle on a hook
In his hands his head he took
In the warm summer sun

This lifeguard was quite shaken
After the chance he had just taken
To save my bacon
In the warm summer sun

So when the days get hot
And to the pool you trot
With the new swim suit you bought
To jump and dive like a hot shot
This story you have probably forgot
SO REMEMBER!
You think it’s fun
THE LIFEGUARD DOES NOT!!!
