Waterbug 1 calling 2 and 3

we’ve a situation here today

scramble – scramble – scramble

thus off to different parts of pool

course gyro’s off of auto control

manual efforts a bit confusing

while scattering still close in

then heard the loud claps

depth charges going off

some close – very close

some still far away heard

as if on day maneuvers

sadly mostly above water

therefore targets sought

battleships moving close in

then again the charges bang

till after an hour of cat/mouse

units two and three are down

but Waterbug 1 struggles on

soon all is quiet as if at night

unseen the prey the fleet retires

dragonflies to their lily leafs

then as if at parting a movement

maybe – maybe not – but still

heard quietly, ‘till another time!’
