Last bath for the season.... (♫)

...even if Gustaf and Stella take a short swim every ice-free day throughout the year. But the last real day of bathing outdoors is probably today, the last day in August. Goathard was most interested in the fishes under the old floating bridge, and Killer Kate with a fresh memory of an involuntary bath took cover on the old sofa. The only one of their friends who boldly bathed with them was Goosey ... who naturally has swimming skin between his toes ... ; )

 

 

Loudon Wainwright - The Swiming Song

This summer I went swimming

This summer I might have drowned

But I held my breath, I kicked my feet

Moved my arms around

I moved my arms around

 

This summer I swam in the ocean

And I swam in a swimming pool

Salt my wounds, chlorined my eyes

I'm a self-destructive fool

Self-destructive fool

 

This summer I did the back stroke

And you know that that's not all

I did the breast stroke, the butterfly

And the old Australian crawl

The old Australian crawl

 

This summer I swam in a public place

And a reservoir to boot

At the latter I was informal

At the former I wore my suit

I wore my swimming suit

 

Oh, this summer I did swan dives

And jack-knives for you all

And once when you weren't looking

I did a cannon-ball

I did a cannon-ball

 

This summer I went swimming

This summer I might have drowned

But I held my breath, I kicked my feet

And moved my arms around

I moved my arms around
