Dive In To The Purple WaterA Poem by {A}shley {B}lack @-;-Another tale of Benny TinkerbellDive In To The Purple Water Luck is gracious to people and makes your wallet swell but very unlike the others is Benny Tinkerbell A phone call excites this unlucky lad He is going for a swim and asks for a lift of his dad “after the cat incident Benny you can bike!” An answer Benny defiantly didn’t like But he grabbed a fresh towel and reached for his shorts Not noticing the waist string was missing Now he has no supports Biking to the pool arriving at last Sweating and tired his breath his does gasp He changes into shorts and notices the waistband Shudders his shoulders and holds them up with his hand “Lets dive in from the high board” This really does excite And not thinking about the shorts Benny is thrilled by the height Climbing the ladders to the highest board His friend in front jumps and welcomed by applaud Now it’s his turn he takes a big leap Then into the water but his shorts he did not keep They followed him down landing on top of the pool But not noticing his nudeness he wants to look cool So swimming underwater he wants to reach the end Then stand to ovation to an applaud louder then his friend He reaches the shallow side this must be enough But when he rises not only his friends see him standing in the buff Mother and children swimming lessons just about to begin And the eyes of all the children are staring at him His sheer embarrassment causes stressful incontinence Now wishing he didn’t have his sudden predominance A yellow stream travels into the water Circling the closest child the mayors daughter But more to his surprise the water began to change Could this myth be true the pool turns a purple And the current does change and begins to burble Mothers disgusted he plans to tell lies But as he looks into the crowd his mother locks eyes Little sister is laughing and pointing with glee And poor Benny Tinkerbell can only think why me? © 2011 {A}shley {B}lack @-;-Author's Note
