First, never, never, never try to breathe
under water! Unless, of course, you wear
your scuba outfit. When you dive, please leave
your tuba on shore. Next, don’t ever dare
sharks to fight, or octopi to wrestle!
The former make snap judgments causing woe.
The latter will wrap you in a vessel
of ink…you’ll feel tattooed from head to toe!
Instead, why not laugh and play in water?
Have a whale of a time kicking your feet,
swimming on your back like a young otter,
or floating the waves like a navy fleet.
Psst...Never, never, never swim alone!
You can’t contact your lifeguard on a phone!
