I Was Playing Thunderbirds With My Kids and Forgot What Thunderbird 3 Was, So Asked the Lifeguard

he was unaware
wolf
which was disappointing
never attempt to move or donkey punch
the empire state building

ten years of planning
ten years of shrooms
ended with puppets
and strings like cave cheese
and shreddies

we were alone in the pool
the lifeguard looked like
satan's gumdrop 

layered like pie
and like a puppet on a string
junk socks and dutch rowboats
i told reception it was my first time at this pool 

i was told i could use my token for the locker
i told reception again it was my first time at this pool 

an overchlorinated swimming hole
