Once upon a time Not too long ago, Simone was TOO AFRAID In water she would NOT GO!
She would not go into the ocean, a stream, a pool, or brook, While her friends were having fun swimming All she did was sit and look.
Simone asked her friends politely If there was something they could do, Her friends replied "Of course, To swim - WE WILL TEACH YOU!"
With Sunnae, Precious, Hunter And Dactyl by her side, Simone knew with all her might From the water she could NOT hide.
They lead her to the water Until her toes were in, Although Simone was frightened Her friends TAUGHT HER HOW TO SWIM!
She went into the water Her feet splashed up and down, Now Simone was SMILING Instead of wearing a big frown.
While they were in the water They made a little song, They want to share it with you So you can sing along:
Splish and Splash And Splash and Splish We Can All Now Swim Like The Fish!
Simone was very HAPPY Her friends felt so much JOY, The water which she was swimming in Was like a new found TOY!
So swimming is FUN, not scary And it should be FUN for YOU, For if Simone can DO IT THEN YOU CAN DO IT TOO!
