Incident at the Swimming Pool

 

By Elton Camp

 

The public pool was crowded that July day

Bruce dove into the water in his usual way

He thought that he’d made quite an impression

Judging by gasps and their facial expression

 

When girls giggled and pointed right at him

He thought, “They think that I’m very trim.”

Bruce received more attention than other guys

It certainly gave to his manly ego quite a rise

 

As he looked around the pool with great glee

A thing of his floating in the water he did see

It was then that Bruce knew why they did hoot

At the edge of the pool was his swimming suit
