Bottle Nosed Dolphins
So powerful, yet graceful
Lifeguards of the sea...

Henry David Thoreau
Spent two years in a one room chateau 
Went to the pond to dip his booty
No dice – lifeguards off-duty...

city swimmer yesterday

screamed a fish was in the way

lifeguards who heard the shout

quickly they pulled her out

and my goldfish from the bay.

Red flags flying o'er the beach,
Warning of danger beneath gulf waves;
A seagull glides by with a screech.
Red flags flying o'er the beach,
Riptides pull you out of reach,
And lifeguards cannot always save.
Red flags flying o'er the beach,
Warning of danger beneath gulf waves.

They can’t get lifeguards for the lake
And everyone’s on summer break
And so, just for vacation’s sake,
It’s swim at your own risk.

For swimmers, there’s a lot at stake
And when their skin begins to bake,
It’s quite an easy choice to make,
Their water entry brisk.

Bravado is a breeze to fake
And confidence is hard to shake.
Let’s hope this choice is no mistake
Or we will hear tsk tsk....

A whispering farewell
Of the Breeze in late August
It is turning cooler by Day
The Nights arrive quickly
That much earlier to stay
Swimming trunks in the draw
Short sleeves,back in the trunk
Fall is approaching
Her voice faintly heard
 LifeGuards are leaving
The Beach to be tightrope
Children return to the School Hustle
Winter is around and about
Slowly on the horizon
As we gaze for one more time
Summer's Final Fade Out...
