The tide, she high & I am holding on.
About to drown by underwater yawn.
The level has risen up to my eyes.
What sort of remedy would you advise?
I wore swimsuit & cap; ready to wade.
But, for a snorkel, I’d both of them trade.
Fish smirking by & pucker up bubbles.
Still treading water & soon in trouble.
I visit this undersea neighborhood.
Though, I did not plan to be here for good.
