Good Luck Said His Girl

He had on his bibbed overalls, and his red kerchief. Finally found his worn straw hat, with great relief. Headed out on the water with a wave and a wish. Heard plenty of bass making a splash or a swish. Good luck! Said his girl, who refused to go. She could not bear water; her fear was aglow. She thought she might drown, but she encouraged him. He wished she would grow up and learn how to swim.
