We may have to nominate Mike Sandoz as poet laureate of NMSC. You may recall his contributions from last season (check out the archives) and now, in response to my request for contributions to the Limerick Lane, he has penned a sonnet.
Sonnet to Commemorate Dave's Halloween Workout
by Mike Sandoz
At Halloween it was, that spooky night,
When A-group swimmers gathered, dark and grim,
At poolside. Cold and shivering with fright,
They asked about their dreaded deathly swim.
But fears were cast aside by Dave's reply;
The ghostly workout would be just a breeze:
A warm-up, then more warm-up, followed by
The warm-down, smoothly taken at their ease.
And so it proved to be, at first, with three
Two-hundreds warm-up (free then back then breast).
Then more warm-up (combining back/breast/free):
Eighteen one-hundreds with sufficient rest.
But after Treat came Trick: Six hundred fly!
A ghoulish warm-down ... even made spooks cry!
