Here's to the plucky ladies

Who meet at Malvern pool

Each Monday, Wednesday, Thursday

In weather hot or cool

They meet for swim aerobics

And twirl their bodies round

In hopes to make their muscles

All strong and firm and sound

And while they exercise there

Their chatter freely flows

They talk of all the things they do

And all the folks they know.

They gossip about family

As they twist and flex and turn

Just maybe they'll discuss the news

Or how their dinner burned

But, on and on they struggle

Through stormy days or fair

To keep their bodies flexible

And guard them against wear

They're brave when water's icy

And strong when cold winds blow

They jump right in and swing their arms

As round and round they go

So, give these ladies credit

For standing firm and true

And showing up to swim each day

They are a hardy crew.
