The Great Tornado Dive

 
There we were, enjoying a great family summer day
Kids laughing, splashing, and jumping into the pool
And while swimming back and forth I had an idea
I thought I’d show my kids how I can still be cool

So in my mind I pictured this great Olympic super dive
Starting with tornado twirl like skaters perform on ice
I got out of the pool and called everyone’s attention
What I imagined was going to look epic and really nice

But in reality and what the video proof showed was…
A forty-year-old man doing a slow princess twirl
Arms out like helicopter and stopping for a second
Because he got dizzy, fell into the water yelling like a girl
