The First Splash in the Pool

Holidays are pretty brill,
Yes, holidays are cool,
But they never really start until
The first splash in the pool.

For some they start when clocking out,
Or coming home from school,
But I suspect it’s all about
The first splash in the pool.

Travel can be quite a bore,
Painstaking as a rule.
Yes, everything is pants before
The first splash in the pool.
