I’m not the biggest fan of swimming in the ocean

It’s mostly cold and salty and removes your tanning lotion

I’ll just sit here upon the shore and watch the others swim

It’s fun to see the little ones for the first time going in

Out there’s a place where sharks and fast rip tides abound

The shore is much the safer place… they can’t reach you on high ground

The sand is soft between my toes…my book begs to be read

My new sunglasses should stay dry and so should my bald head

Yes I much prefer to spectate atop granulated turf

But I understand the fun and charm of swimming in the surf

When you think of all the things that you and yours can do in it

Just remember all those fish out there…go number one and two in it!
