Jojo turned at her mother’s call
Just a swift look over her shoulder
Her mother was telling her to move
But Jojo refused
She was enjoying the cool water on such a hot day
She’d stay a while longer, dabble her feet and play
Jojo didn’t hear the boat approach
Lost in the squawks of her mother’s reproach
The other birds rose
Left her behind
As the wash from the cruiser knocked her over
Left her for one confused moment drenched and blind.
And see how they all rose into the air!

Jojo sounds like most teenagers! Choosing to disregard Mom’s call and do things their way. Nicely done.
