We went on a swim trip, to the pond in the woods

With our bathing suit, and sneakers and our hoods

There was about six of us,going into the old VW bug

Not bringing the dog with us, giving him a loving hug

The day was really sunny, without any rain or even snow

How did we know that this day, would make us say ‘oh no’

The 73 bug made it through the road trails, pond here we come

We all excitedly jumped out, and dropped our gear for wet fun

Cold refreshing clear pond water, cooling us off from the land

The mud suddenly pulled her down, I yelled “Take my hand”

No way she screamed at me, as the roots struck her foot like a knife

“I’m not asking you to marry me, I’m trying to save your pretty life”
