The Night Before School Starts and All Through the Pool...

....all the kiddies were splashing while I prepped for school,

Then papa got his toe in, while I got the cam
and look what they did: first throw up, then down...Bam!

The splishes and splashes were heard hither and yon,
And the pleading for ice cream was heard by this mom,

The end of the summer was indeed coming close,
And it seemed that this eve was enjoyed to utmost,

So, contented they lay in their beds late that night,
Tired and ready for the new day in sight,
While Papa and I said a quite tired "Goodnight"
