At Your Own Risk
They can’t get lifeguards for the lake
And everyone’s on summer break
And so, just for vacation’s sake,
It’s swim at your own risk.
For swimmers, there’s a lot at stake
And when their skin begins to bake,
It’s quite an easy choice to make,
Their water entry brisk.
Bravado is a breeze to fake
And confidence is hard to shake.
Let’s hope this choice is no mistake
Or we will hear tsk tsk.
