Olympian Diva Dives

“The diva is high,” says the news, “huge splash in the pool and a bruise.” She scores off the scale. She’s thin as a whale. Crowd wades in her blubbering blues. 2/12/2022

Whoa!! I bet that was a dive. I wonder what would happen if I dove into a pool this summer? Would there be any water left to let me float? The stuck at home has put on the pounds. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara

I don’t know if I would attempt diving. For me it’s been too long.

thin as a whale was so clever. Was this something related to the news or anything?

No but after I wrote it, it made me think of Tonya Harding and her broken shoelace. Thank you, sweet friend.

Hope the water is still there after the whale jump. Pulling our legs :)

Nice twist in the Limerick, Kim. Fun to read and an added plus, ending with alliteration. Blessings, Bill
