Swimming Mantra
It’s alright once your in there,
Is the mantra of the day.
It’s what we all shout loudly,
When we go outside to play.
We stand beside the water,
In our swimsuits turning blue.
Shouting encouraging words,
Like “no I’ll go after you.”
Without fail every single time,
Those simple words come out
“It’s alright once your in there”
Each one of us will shout.
Then we hoot and giggle,
As we ease the bodies in.
It’s something of a spectacle,
Lord knows why we begin.
But actually we are correct,
It’s alright when we’re in.
And once we get back out,
All we can do is grin!
