Reasons to be cheerful...

Today I'm going swimming,
today I'm going to swim.
I'm going to look that sea in the eye
and jump right in.

I'm not going to chicken out,
even though I look really fat
and bulgy in my costume
I just won't think of that.

I have to shave my legs
and underneath my arms
I don't really understand why
but I don't want to cause alarm.

I wish I was tall and elegant
like lovely Uma Thurman
but when you're stumpy and plump
you can't risk going 'German'.

I love the feel of the sea
plunging beneath the water
snorkelling with the fishies
like Poseidon's favourite daughter.

It's quiet and calm underwater
I'm suffused with salt and peace
and thankfulness I had the sense
to come and live in Greece.
