Scuba in Aruba
“Failure is an option, but fear is not.” —James Cameron
stuff into your wetsuit
strap on your BCD
from your regulator take two sips
excited you should be
we’re gonna scuba
in Aruba
(did you say Cuba?)
I said Aruba
stare at the horizon
big step into the fray
double fist tap o’er your head
shows them you’re ok
we’re gonna scuba
in Aruba
(did you say Cuba?) No!
I said Aruba
remember safety scuba
PADI rule of thirds a must
never hold your breath
or your lungs will surely bust
we’re gonna scuba (Yeah!)
in Aruba
(did you say Cuba?) No!
I said Aruba
finally we descend
enchantment ‘neath the waves
turtles, eels, stingrays, sharks
scenes that mankind craves
we’re gonna scuba (Yeah!)
in Aruba
(did you say Cuba?) No!
I said Aruba
we’re gonna scuba (Yeah!)
in Aruba
(did you say Cuba?) No!
I said Aruba. Yo!
.~.~.~
Final thoughts in quintuplet couplets:
Water’s calm with clear blue sky
Summertime is nigh
Be sure to check your regulator
You can always thank me later
No more time for any rhyme
Dive five meters to escape the skeeters
If your mortgage is underwater
Are you certified to dive?
Sea Hunt was a favorite show
It’s great to be alive
