Sink Or Swim

those who cannot swim
will not drown in the water
if they stay on land

those who cannot swim
should not drown in the water
if they use a boat

those who cannot swim
should not drown in the water
if they learn to swim

swimmers never drown
unless they enter water
and even boats sink

water gives and takes
at what level should you float
your choice sink or swim
