The Summer That Was Definately Not a Bummer

I met her in summer by the twin docks after
we arrived late for our holiday.
The twin docks were on the end of the
bay or perhaps it was the beginning.
As a young boy I could swim underwater
from one dock to the one on the otherside
with out coming up one time for air.
I remember that because the first time
I managed to do it I was swimmming with my
eyes closed until I hit my head on the beams
of the other dock and came to a sudden stop.
My brother laughed at me at that time,
the brother that recently passed away
from cancer of the throat because he smoked
like a madman most of his life.  Of course his
laughs were only brotherly love, me and my brothers
always had lots of fun running wild in the woods
and on the beaches as young boys in Florida.
On one occasion I was going across the
long part of the bay on an innertube when
my brother started yelling, "shark, shark,"
and I could swear I saw a shark fin coming
my way as I turned that innertube around
and made it back to shore as fast as I could
paddle, all the time thinking a shark was
going to bite me on the butt at any moment.
But getting back to "her"; one fine summer
day I was swimming underwater across the short
part of the bay when I spied what appeared to
be a mermaid swimming across my starboard bow
as nice as could be.  On top she was wearing a
tiny bikini that barely covered the essentials,
and as I started following her I noticed she
wasn't a mermaid at all, but a young lady,
maybe a few years older then me that filled
out a bikini really well. Like me she appeared
to be a good underwater swimmer, such luck...
We both went up for air at the same moment so
close we could have kissed; well, I was only 12
and one you could call an inexperienced kisser.
Come to find out she was stayng in the beachhouse
next to ours and that summer definately was not
a bummer.
