Her Richard lay wet and spent
His mighty form going limp
Tess was in an exhausted state
Concerned as she was about his fate
Would he ever rise again
Or was her hope to be in vain
“….!” she said “Speak to me”
Would he hear her worried plea
Someone said there was a crime
Such an obvious thing to opine
The pool was made of cinder block
That’s how it withstood the shock
The water was now outside
Making the walkway a slip ’n’ slide
Tess stood in the shallow end
What aid there was she sought to wend
In the background they heard a gurgle
Could that be the ambassadors gerbil
The gala now was a mess
Providing fodder for the press
To the prudes and prigs who hover here
Passing their judgment with a leer
If you find these verses to be obscene
Then your mind is just like a latrine
