Swimming With Irene

During a natural disaster
The pool is full of laughter
You can feel the raindrops and smell the Chlorine
We were splashing during Irene!

It’s rare to swim during a hurricane
Our pool overflowing with rain
To us this hurricane is just another storm
In the pool we all felt warm.

My brother’s about to jump in
Everybody is ready to swim
And once we’re all done
Having so much fun
We’ll go inside.
