I Am The First One In
And The Last One Out
Together We Win
And I Have No Doubt

I Am So Blessed
To Have You In My Life
In You I Excel
Thinking As Clear As A Bell

I Am A Better Man Because Of You
And For That, Thank You!

your splashing towards me with a breeze
Hoping to call me to the waters Edge
I dip a toe
But must walk away until the morning

“Woof woof, the Lucky swimmers!”
Was there a one dismayed?
Not though the swimmer knew
someone had blundered.
Theirs was not to make reply.
Theirs was not to reason why.
Theirs was just to swim or die.
Into the Lake of Cane swam the six.

Gators to the right of them.
Lampreys to the left of them.
Pi-ranners in front of them.
Flashed and gnashed, and roared.
Driven at with tooth and claw.
boldly they swam, and well.
Into the Jaws of death.
Into the mouth of Hell.
Swam the six.

Flashed all their forelimbs bare.
Flashed as they turned in air.
Stroking through the gators there.
Charging a swarming school,
while all the World wondered.
Plunged in the frothy choke.
Gator bones and teeth lay broke.
Pi-ranner and lamprey
reeled from the freestyle stroke.
Shattered and sundered

Early in the morning,
When the water is calm,
I’m ready to swim,
Just past the palm.

Swim cap is on,
With my goggles in hand,
I put my toes in,
and feel the sand.

The Lucky’s Lake swimmers,
Take off with a dash,
Swimming across the lake,
With very little splash.

A great way to start,
Your day at sunrise,
By experiencing outdoors,
Is the greatest prize.

We inspire, we create, when I hit the water, I feel my fate. The creatures don’t scare me, I am free. The fact that there’s other people doesn’t bother me. I am swimming happy, down at Lucky’s Lake, where the gators don’t frighten me. This is my journey to make.

O’ Lake Cane
How I Love Thee
Let Me Count The Waves

Your Bass’y
Your Glassy
Your Classy
And Oh So Sassy!

I Am The First One In
And The Last One Out
Together We Win
And I Have No Doubt

Your The Best Free Gift
I Could Ever Receive
I Simply Believe
I Never Want To Leave

I Once Dreamed Of The Sea
Where I Wanted To Be
However, You Hold The Key
To Help Me, Be Me!

While Lucky Is Truly Lucky
I Too Am Lucky To Have You
Full Of Animals From The Zoo
Who? You!

I Am So Blessed
To Have You In My Life
In You I Excel
Thinking As Clear As A Bell

Soon We Will Be Together, Forever
Feeling As Light As A Feather
Because In You I Feel Better
Which Is Why I Write This Letter

You Help Me Inspire & Motivate
Out Of Respect, I Am Never Late
Why? Because You Rate!

In You, I Lost Weight
I Am A Better Man Because Of You
And For That, Thank You!
