I shall begin numbering the "Lifeguard Insanity" posts as I'm sure there shall be many. Yesterday at work I sang myself this little ditty (I really don't know why I did or where the inspiration came from, but I don't care, either). It has music that goes along with it, but I can't remember any of it now.
Hold me like you'll never let me wander
Console me that our love will never fade
Show me in your ever silent way
That you will always love me,
love me like you do today
Enfold me in the soft wings of a dove
Hold me like a guardian angel from above
Surround me with knowledge of your love
And never let me forget, never let me forget
the way you hold me today
Yeah, definitely weird. But that was only the beginning. I later moved on to inventing an entire musical. The plot line was hideous and the music was worse (this point was accented by the fact that I was singing all the parts). And the only character who had a name was Elizabeth. All the other characters' names kept changing to whatever fit in the music at the time.
Today I just sang songs from Jekyll & Hyde. However, I did have to save someone for the first time. Pitifully, it was a girl that was testing to see if she could be in the pool without a parent even though she isn't nine yrs. old. Guess who didn't pass that test? Good, you're all very clever.
I'm sure that later installments of my thoughts as a lifeguard will include more songs, probably some nonsense rhyming, and possibly descriptions of music that has no words that comes to my mind anyway. I hope it doesn't scare you all too horribly.

hee hee. i like it. i may steal that poem. i like the imagery. well, off i trot.
You can't steal the poem! If you steal it then I get to steal you're poem about the mirror. ;)-
you're poem about the mirror eh? :D hmm i need to find that. do you have it by chance?
When I said I wanted to steal it I went to look for it and I couldn't find it at my Ayliel account. I might have saved it on the compuker though. Let me check. *checks* Ah dang, I don't. I have Bring, but not the mirror one. Sadness.
i can't find it either! i can't find the notebook that it was in at all! what if my backpack ate it?! i don't know what i'm going to do. i can't remember the whole thing; just bits and pieces. arg! i need to go clean my room and be poetic at the same time. this could be weird.
Actually, I was going through the folders in my Ayliel account (I'm going to print off the stuff I really want) and I found it! Let there be much rejoicing.
