dont go without preparation


On the pool deck
The young girl looks
The images swaying
Ripples of light

She laughs at herself
The images just imitate
As long as she's doing something
She stands there mesmerizing

The images signalling
Calling her to come to the pool
Alone she looks around
“Wah she talks to me!”

Into the pool she walks in
She never knows the depth of it
As the water reaches up to her head
She struggles to get free

Splashing waves crying for help
The poor girl gets her fright of life
The pool attendant quickly dives in
Pulling her out in quick of time

The parents come running
Fear and tears falling in their eyes
Only a few minutes they are away
The shadow talks so the girl dips in

“She's alive!”
The parents hug the girl
“Don't ever do that again”
She smiles she calls me

So don't go doing
Without enough preparation
You will get burn for incompetence
A set back hard to believe again
