Water me
Swim me
Tip your toe
Slurp your tongue.
Freeze me
Throw me
Catch me
Puddle me.
Float me
Dive me
Ponder me
Respect me.

‘Twas romance on the wild lagoon
With largest catch from far to soon.
Husband shows his wife the place
Where magic lights upon his face.
With largest catch from far to soon
Those fish sure bite before the moon
Raises frogs; makes turtles swoon.
Husband shows his wife the place
Which beckons nightly for his grace
Canoe or kayak, rod in case.
Where magic lights upon his face
And beavers threaten with their “whacks”
How dare you fish in beaver’s place?
