This might not end well

Walk out in the morning,

 while taking the dogs out to the backyard,

  and what do I see?

A Darwin Award waiting to happen.

House catty-corner to me,

 and as a means of explanation,

   this means it is behind,

    but one house down.

Where was I?

Right.

  Possible chance of death.

Now,

 I am half asleep,

  and merely trying to make sure the dogs make their quota.

The neighbors have a swimming pool.

Two of them are on the roof of the house.

One is around 350 pounds,

 and judging by how the pools are built around here,

  I know he is going to hit bottom.

The other looks to be a kid weighing less than a hundred.

The thing is I must stay silent.

If I were to yell out,

 it might startle them.

Picture bodies falling.

Trying to keep a long story short,

 there were no emergency sirens,

  but there was the irritated voice of a mom.

Dogs in the neighborhood were howling.

No dives are foreseen in the future.

I hope it turned out to be a case of all ending well Jon and your fears were unfounded. Hope all is ok in your neck of the woods.

Just to be honest, I used to take a few jumps into the water. In my case it was making a mad dash towards the end of a cliff, and there was a thirty foot drop. There was a little more depth to the water!

Never a dull moment in your neighborhood, from the sound of it. How fortunate that everything turned out okay...at least I reckon that no sirens says that it did...

Everything seems to have went well. The fire department would have arrived first. They are less than a mile away. That might come in handy when I fry another turkey!
