Shark In the Soup
In my soup I could have sworn I saw a shark.
Swimming in roux that was rather dark.
But to my relief,
the fin a bay leaf.
Now I wear glasses before each meal I start.

Thirsty Johnny
Johnny sat bored at a swimming parade,
became thirsty watching the retrograde.
Dipped his head in the pool.
but felt like such a fool.
Silly boy thought it was blue Gatorade!

These Coming Summer Days
Tis splendor in the grass these coming summer days
America’s youth can have their privileged adolescent ways
Swimming and playing or simply being laid back
They have little worries without any teacher’s flack
Enrich they youngish self before the inevitable groans of early Mondays

Ain'T That the Way Fat Goes
With swimming suit season so near,
Ruthie wanted to lose her huge rear.
But she lost what was best -
luscious curves from her chest.
Then she needed a tiny brassiere!

Polka Dot Swimming Trunks
In Florida one right hot summer
A free soul was havin' a bummer
So in spray painted undies
Next holiday Monday
He split to the Springs with his rummer.

Equally inspired by a net(te) comment and the lovely natural resources in North Florida

A New Monster In Loch Ness
I saw the huge beast from the dock.
The scene evoked bowel loosening shock.
Run and hide, Nessie!
It's about to get messy.
Rosie O'Donnell* is swimming in the Loch.

I Wish I Were a Skate
I wish I were a swimming skate
I’d swim in schools; that would be great!
I would sit in class
Between shark and bass
Then play hooky and take debate

Saliva
During a lifetime we all produce saliva, enough
To fill two swimming pools, WOW! that's a lot of stuff
Statistics on the Net
For everything you get
Not going further, coz it may cause disgust

Dry Swimming Pool
Dry Swimming Pool
He learned how to play with a loose tool;
Suffered from much criticism and ridicule,
When he had lied,
After a while died,
Being fool who dove into dry swimming pool.

Naked
Swimming in the water was my plan,
on the way felt the hotness of the sand,
rolling in wave,
wanted to escape,
bikini gone nudity was banned.

The Soup Is Swimming
The Soup is swimming with amazing peeps
Animals and vegetables, loaded with heaps
Can't imagine no yummies
No Soup for the tummy
Would throw in my napkin and sit there and weep

Homely Freedom Search
From parents to all peers, a groomed tossing puck
so much care quite good with sour contents to suck
a growing cadet
but still a midget
chill and calm is the wind for this swimming duck.

Tales From the River Bank
Sues uses her ‘flotation tanks’,
When swimming between river banks,
Her boobs keep her afloat,
She won’t need a lifeboat,
For boobies us gals can give thanks!

Woke up and looked all around
Still safe, sane, secure and sound
Slept having some nice dreams
Fish swimming in swift streams
My heart did pleasantly pound.

Swimming At the Beach
The infinity edge is quite cool;
All those jellyfish are for the fools.
One thing ‘bout the water:
The sun makes it hotter,
Or it might be the pee in the pool.

Swim At Your Own Risk
Swimming in the pool was Lou- Lou,
In distress yelled, ”MA! Gotta poo !”
Momma was too late.
So the cowboy, Nate,
stuck in head n'said, “Howdy-DOO!”

Summer Swimwear Advice
When we’re swimming, it’s kind of a sin
showing too much of some parts of skin.
So please do be kind.
Make sure your behind
doesn’t bulge from the swimsuit you’re in

A politician from a town outside Dallas

He takes funding from schools

and buys antiques to furnish his palace

Making a Splash
Jim was a silly fool.
Who fell into his swimming pool.
He wasn't a swimmer
He could not be dimmer.

Swimming In Norway
Climate warming is bunkum some say.
But I wonder what happened one day,
when a stark naked horde
swam and splashed in a fjord
in mid-winter in balmy Norway
