Nature Calls -- for contest

  Gene went for a dip in the local pool
  His swimsuit was loose, he thought it was cool
     Had four beers, he felt mellow
     Soon Gene turned the pool yellow
  He’d turn it brown too ~ if he could refuel

To say the least, he messed up the swimming pool. Thank God, he didn't 'refuel'. Quite hilarious! Congratulations, Gershon on your placement.

I can't understand why not, Tom. The water's still mostly blue...
