Swimming Pool Haiku
Created | Updated Jul 24, 2005
Hooray, a heat wave!
Swimsuit, flipflops, silly hat —
Don't forget your towel.
Who needs heaven? Yes,
I'm a heathen. All I want:
hot sun, cool water.
I'm happy to see
mama duck and her babies,
but not in the pool.
Oh dear, oh dear — what
on earth was I thinking when
I bought this swimsuit?!
Like hot dogs roasting
on a grill, perfectly brown —
time to roll over.
Children in nappies
should not be allowed to swim —
urg: yellow water.
Sunscreen is for wimps!
So what I'm a little red?
(... ow - ow - ow - ow - ow ...)
Swimming pool party:
food is ready, guests arrive.
Why is it raining?
On the pool bottom,
half of a bikini. There
is a story there...
Swimmers are looking
nervous — smartarse plays music
from the movie Jaws.
Why does everyone
leave the pool when it rains? They
are already wet.
A mischievous child
swims beneath the floating lounge
with a long needle.
Inexperienced
diver tries a 'cannonball':
Atomic Wedgie!
A middle-aged guy
struts by sucking in his gut:
hope springs eternal.
Some words of wisdom:
before you leap from the high dive,
aim for the pool first.
