The fanciest dive that ever was dove
Was done by Melissa of coconut grove.
She bounced on the board and flew into the air
With a twist of her head and a twirl of her hair.
She did 34 jackknives, backflips and spun,
Quadruple gainered, and reached for the sun,
And then somersaulted nine times and a quarter – –
Looked down and saw that the pool no water.
