The Swimming Pool
Watch the people in the pool
As they kick and splash,
Knowing that their pool days
Will be over in a flash.
Noodles, tubes and swimmies
Help to keep the kids afloat
While the grown-ups stand there, cooling off
And trading tales of note.
The only thing you rarely see,
As summertime is dimming,
Is anyone (with few exceptions)
Actually swimming!
