Incident At the Swimming Pool

Incident at the Swimming Pool

By Elton Camp

The public pool was crowded that July day
Bruce dove into the water in his usual way
He thought that he’d made quite an impression
Judging by gasps and their facial expression

When girls giggled and pointed right at him
He thought, “They think that I’m very trim.”
Bruce received more attention than other guys
It certainly gave to his manly ego quite a rise

As he looked around the pool with great glee
A thing of his floating in the water he did see
It was then that Bruce knew why they did hoot
At the edge of the pool was his swimming suit
