Fumbling Victor Frey
regrets his courage of late;
Now sinks in the lake

"Is more help coming?"
This felllow was drowning now,
They needed more help.

“Would that I could lend
A hand,” he lamented. “Or
Save them with a spell.”

---

Oh she did panic
To see the floundering Frey
"I hope he's okay!"

"Park jinxed or summat?"
Charley wondered out loud, "I'd
Swear it hates rescues."

Drowning, he thinks: need
no rescue nor wand; he's tall:
"Alas, I can stand!"

"So, you're fine, then?" he

This was so stupid.

Charles fantasized
about pushing Charley in,
Instead, just said, "No."

"Ya sure?" Charley asked,
Not quite believing the man.
"Could be pretendin'!"

"For this thing I went
In the water and showed all
ladies my drawers?"

Should he be ashamed
for sparking this fiasco,
Mayhaps? (He was not.)

"If there's no danger.
I'm leaving." As if he'd helped.
He left anyway.
