Welcome to the pool!
Welcome to the pool!
Welcome to the pool!
Where schools move in unchartered waters
Watered in shades
Of cool inspiration.
Welcome to the pool
Where water pools in puddles of whirls
Swirls twirl
Deep waters
Muddied and slurried in happy bodies
Hot toddy smiles beguile
While mother and chile
Tile dreams with laughter
After getting very wet
You wanna leave?
You can’t
You’re not wet enough yet!
Not yet!
We won’t be happy til your dripping
Until we’re all slipping
Slopping, sliding, mopping
Falling on our backsides
While eyes are popping
What’s that sight
It’s Bubbles hopping
What’s that sound?
It’s Sponge dropping
A deep poetic tone
loud enough to drown out
Gong’s…
Gamalama ding dong
plink plonk special song
Banang, Sarang
Ching Chang
Gong!
Light alights and leads the little-uns
Gets them ready to be sea urchins
But none are ready without that smell
That whiff of lavender from Flowers petals.
Welcome to the pool
Where schools pool laughter
Welcome to the pool
Puddles ripple happy ever afters
Welcome to the pool.
