Don’t Drown by Michael Rosen

Don’t drown. Practise swimming for a long, long time. Don’t drown. Practise shouting, ‘Help!’ Don’t drown. Keep the water out. Don’t drown. Call for help. Don’t drown. If you see the water rising, leave. Don’t drown. If you think you’re sinking, grab something. Don’t drown. If you think there’s no way out, you’re probably wrong and there is a way out. Find it Don’t drown. If you think you’re stuck, probably you’re not. Don’t drown. If you think you can’t go on, Probably you can. Don’t drown.
