How do you save yourself from drowning?
Can you grab your own hand
And hoist yourself from the black water?
Grasp your wrists with both your hands
You'll still sink just as fast.
If you do escape the dripping depths
Can you force air into your own lungs?
The only way to save yourself
Is to learn to swim.
By the time you learn will you still
Remember which way is up?
