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.

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!

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

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.

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 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

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
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.

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

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.

abuse, adventure, angst, anxiety, culture, growing up, nature,
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.

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.

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!

A young star athlete in Tokyo
Was born with crippling polio
He overcame the stress
By swimming his best
He now has gold in his portfolio

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.

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

A politician from a town outside Dallas
is cruel corrupt, mean and callous
He takes funding from schools
builds his friends swimming pools
and buys antiques to furnish his palace

Give Redicule To A Fool
He learned how to play with a loose tool;
Always suffering from criticism and ridicule;
When he lied,
People out cried;
Called poem, "Fool diving into dry swimming pool."

It's not simple to find a train at sea
or eye planes climbing on the trees
never got to sight ox fly
fish swimming in river dry
boats travelling rails sailing free

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

Swimming When Hit By Smack,
You should have seen ocean smack,
Received on every cranny and crack,
Being crass;
Each crevasse,
Which would be from front to back.

Stool Stopped and Lost Cool
Someone had really lost their cool;
When she stopped having a stool;
If you do,
It is true,
Not in a swimming pool or vestibule.

Priest Never Planned
Priest never planned on being a fool;
So followed God and His golden rule;
Took Bible from shelve,
And into he did delve;
Jesus road donkey and not a mule.

(Or won't find mule in a swimming pool;
Was Trump who likes having a loose tool.)
