Oh.... green plastic pool

Thirty hard-earned dollars for a green, plastic pool
set out and filled in the first days of spring
with water crisp and cool

Who knew a piece of plastic could bring so much joy
squeals, splashes, giggles and smiles
from both the girl, the dad and the boy

Your water so fresh,
so crisp, cool and clear
Though you've only seen toes and legs
You'll surely soon see their rears

Winter is gone and the coats packed away
bathing suits, sunscreen and shades
are now invited to stay

Momma in her lawn chair
with a glass full of sweet tea
no bickering, no bordem, no "mom, he hit me!"

Oh, little plastic pool in all your green glory

I'll refill you each day that you continue to provide
hours of endless fun and trips down your slide

I ♥ you green, plastic pool!
