Lifguard...
I was surfing on the wet
When I was trashed by a wave
Screaming bloody murder, I wasn't very brave
The surf crashed all around me
I was blinded ... Couldn’t see
It was the worst scenario, I had ever met
Bubbles...Not the chimp
Filled my nose and mouth
Was I going north, or was I going south?
I couldn’t tell which was which
This really was a bitch
And my macho- thing was limp
I was scared beyond belief
This may be my last
I couldn’t see a future, just my sordid past
A mermaid, from out of no-where
Bare breasts and brunette hair
Kept me from a serious hurt...crashing on the reef
The world was swimming past my head
As she towed me to the beach
I was holding on, to the only thing that I could reach
Her eyes and lips, said you must rest
So I kept holding to her breast
And I wasn’t dead...
