Diving Board by Shel Silverstein

You've been up on that diving board
Making sure that it's nice and straight.
You've made sure that it's not too slick.
You've made sure it can stand the weight.
You've made sure that the spring is tight.
You've made sure that the cloth won't slip.
You've made sure it bounces right.
And that your toes can get a grip- -
And you've been up there since half past five
Doin everything ... but DIVE.
— Shel Silverstein
