2nd Length (Our Swimmer)

Displaying an interest in forward propulsion Our swimmer glides with no actual motion The stroke he's using needs timing and skill The effect is graceful, but the progress is nil Neither backwards or forwards, it’s part of the thrill The element he performs in is perfectly still No problems with friction, it's easy for him It is what he was born to, to swim and to swim He turned head or tail, tail in head He thinks that this movement will get him ahead Leaden-limbed, his state becomes alarming Progress expected, not forthcoming The effect is graceful, but the progress is nil It is what he was born to, to swim and to swim And to swim, and to swim, and to swim And to swim, and to swim, and to swim Swim, and to swim, and to swim, and to swim Swim, and to swim, and to swim, and to swim (And to swim, and to swim, and to swim...)
