A sucker for the pool
Today I went swimming ,
Deep inside my feelings .
Felt good until it started to swing .
How would a pool swing ? Why would you?
It is what it was until you realize what it is .
Who knows ?
We didn’t get no manual…
Then how did we know?
That man is an animal?
Finally made it out the pool ,
I looked back and the pool wasn’t cool.
So I took a turn but I kept going round and round .
Until I fell back in the pool.
I tried to escape but I didn’t know where to go,
I didn’t understand the compass so how would I know ?
Who to tell? Who to blame?
Or do I enjoy swimming in this pool?
