Swim Muse

None of my swim mates will be surprised by this one since they all know that I get through my swim sets  by distracting myself by listening to music in my head. I find it eliminates any tedium and makes the time pass nicely. This is using pure imagination and not swimming with ear buds in.

Swim Muse 

The call against swim training I have often heard

Lap swimming is just so absolutely mind numbing

Not for me, nor ever was, you have my word

I have an established mental trick of thumbing

Through my favourite singers with each a song

That fits the rhythm of my training swim stroke

So all my training doesn’t seem to take so long

My imagination comes with sound and I evoke

Songs from musical shows that I have loved

And hear every honeyed note and silken word

The handsome leading man so long by all beloved

Emotions to the corners of my heart transferred
