SINK OR SWI Once there was a gray-haired girl or lady, I should say, Who felt she ought to go to school to learn, to work and play. "Go take some classes," friends advised. "But don't go near the gym." Of course she didn't listen, She simply HAD to swim! And so she poured her poundage in a slinky nylon suit, and stood there with the best of them (though they were young and cute). When Mr. Mueller said, "Now dive, and swim a length, don't fear." She laughed and said, "If I could swim, I don't think I'd be here." But all those young things plunged right in and swam and swam like fish. The gray-haired lady jumped in too. To swim was just a wish. But Mr. Mueller said, "Now swim.  You're really just afraid. Once you're under water Your fears will quickly fade." She sputtered to the surface, though with failure in her eye. To hear, "I know that you can do it, You simply have to try." And Mr. Kane said, "Smile, it's easy when you smile." So now as she goes floating down She's smiling all the while. And hoping she'll come up again and ne'er have cause to rue it, 'Cause Mr. Kane would feel so bad. He thought she could do it! And so the long semester passes and many times she sank. She even gained some extra weight from the water that she drank. Now stiffened muscles, aching joints are payment for that whim. But Messieurs Kane and Mueller still insist that she can swim! The moral of this story is very plain to see,though swimming may be sport for some-- it's NOT HER cup of tea! ......Audrey Taffs
