Bought a snorkel on a Tuesday,
I came home feeling bright,
Shop guy said, “You’ll love the ocean!”
I said, “Buddy… I just might.”
But there’s one small complication,
Tiny issue, little flaw,
Gremlins really shouldn’t swim much,
It’s like... a biological law.
When you’re a gremlin you can’t go in water,
Without some consequences, mate,
But I’ll still wear snorkels in the back garden
While installing a garden gate.
Got my goggles full of rainwater,
Now I’ve got three extra ears,
One is humming sea shanties,
One is leaking root beer.
Tried to dive into a paddling pool,
Didn’t go as I had planned,
Now there’s six of me assembling sheds
With buckets full of sand.
When you’re a gremlin you can’t go in water,
But dreams are free and weird,
So strap those flippers proudly on
And persevere through fear.
Snorkel while you’re gardening,
Snorkel while you bake,
Life is short, the world is strange,
And puddles are a risk we take.
