Calm, but too hot, no breeze, no clouds.
Many umbrellas for the crowds
All wanting shade and get relief
Most swam in the lake, heat release.
That lake was theirs jumping up high,
They splashed, dived, uttered a great sigh.
Calm waters were agitated,
Many couples motivated
A small girl came last to arrive,
One bully blocked her timely dive.
"Get out, girl, you're not one of us."
The poor girl did not dare discuss.
A big man was angry, face red.
The lake now calm, the bully fled,
When all was calm, she smiled so sweet,
The girl swan, all was a great treat.
