Polar Bear Swim

28 Comments

Anyone for a swim? Actually, some people did go in for a Polar Bear swim on January 1.

But there are crazy people in all parts of the world. This limerick is for all those crazy people who went into the freezing water that day and froze their buns off.

*** I did not post a photo of those “brave”? swimmers here.

 

There once was a man who was dim,

And went for a wintery swim,

He said, “I’m not whiny,

Except that my hiney,

Is paying the price for my whim.”

    I love your ocean pictures, Anneli. And yes, those crazy polar plunge people! Definitely not my thing.

    Another great limerick Anneli. Love the cold grey ocean shots. Not a fan of taking the plunge. Happy Thursday. Allan

    There’s not a chance I’d do that on purpose, but I’m glad some did. It gave you the inspiration for a limerick that gave me a good morning laugh!

    Shivering swimmers sense salvation, sink.

    Beautiful pictures, a cautionary tale, and to be sure…not an activity I plan on taking the plunge with anytime soon!

    It sure looks brisk, not for me ❄️. Nice poem.
