We are the Big Boys
We own the middle lane
We are here to thrash the water into submission.
Armed with every accessory
we power through the water
with flippers to flagellate
hand paddles to pummel
Resistance is useless!
Water give in!

But Stop!
We need to confer
Training notes out
we stand like meerkats
Clock watching we wait

and wait

Before we're off again
Thrash
Crash
Splash
the water can only succumb


Yet the water
lets you play
with her.

And one day
She'll turn
and have you
for breakfast.
