Swimming the Channel
If I am ambitious, on one future day,
I will make the swim from Dover to Calais.
If I am ever granted carte blanche,
I will cross the body of water French call “La Manche”.
Many athletic swimmers have done it before.
If I do it, I will be just one more.
To fight the swift current between England to France,
will take the most audacious and determined chance.
However, there is one thing I need to remember.
The attempt should not be made in January or December.
Although I may be considered bold,
the water during those months will be too cold.
