The Pool Saga
(sing to the beginning music of Gilligan's Island)
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
a tale of a brand new pool
that was obtained to brighten days
when we were done with school.
Mom wanted a pool twelve feet by three,
Dad wants fifteen by four
the pool kit should have been complete
but we needed more
we needed more.
Back to the store for an air pump
and then we understood.
We needed a flat spot for the pool
A machine would be good,
a machine would be good.
Mr. Ferguson came with
his backhoe and level too
soon he was done.
He said we would
need some sand under the pool.
A dump truck came
We spread the sand and spread the tarp
here on the flattened land.
(sing to the ending music of Gilligan's Island)
So this is the tale of our brand new pool,
it's finally under way.
The water flows from two new wells
One hour a day.
Now mom and dad and the kids too
will do their very best
to play and swim and have some fun
and the p.h. will test.
No phones, no work, no computer,
not a big plasma t.v.,
like a pod of dolphins,
swimming in the deep blue sea.
So join us here each day my friends,
you're sure to get a smile
from us four happy homeschoolers
splashing and swimming in style.
That is so awesome. Reminds me of my experience a few years ago with the 15 minute set up pool! I think it was more like 8 hours....
Love it!! AWESOME!!! :-) It's a hit! I can hardly wait until we can get our pool going. We're missing a part. Very mysterious. . .have no idea where to get one! LOL.
