Cult of the Swim Team

Disclaimer: I do not have a crush on any of the members of the ETHS swim team. I used to, till I bumped my head on the headboard (mentally) of my bed last night. I smiled to myself and thought: "I was an idiot, but now am over it/was tired, and now will sleep." Oh, and btw, I have to this date never attended an ETOWN swim meet.

They were everywhere

Towering above

Moving as a body

Moving as one



Frantically she acted

Trapped surround

They were everywhere

Barring her all around



Their backpacks dug into her

Their heads were shaved

They were all big and burly

They all looked the same



Their shirts said "Swim Team"

They were unnaturally fast

The roar of the stadium

"ETOWN will kick Trevian a**!"



Their turnks didn't drag

Their suits streamlined

The splashes they made

Flew up sky high



The meet was suddenly over

She thought she might faint

When the one she admired

Asked her out the next day
