7 Water Safety at Lakes, River and Canals Sally wore a funny hat With coloured purple bows, In case the waves got in her hair and scrambled up her nose! Many people marvelled at the costumes that she wore, Moving through the water from the jetty to the shore. In and out the crashing waves Not a stroke you d see her miss, Gliding through the ocean deep like a purple headed fish! Henry was a naughty lad, and every rule he d break And all his friends would say to him a change you need to make. Zella caught him messing around the local lake And told him he was silly and to learn for goodness sake. Read the Water Safety Code, be wise she told him straight, Don t end up in water deep, a sad and silly fate. Stop and think, be water smart, before you learn to late
