Honey Pot
silently
from the top board
he steps into space
a flying bomb
a heat-seeking missile
a depth charge
on a mission
knees tucked into chest
arms clasped tightly
around knees
he plunges towards
his chosen target
floating on surface
open-mouthed
gazing at the sky
dreaming his lazy way
across the summer pool
mission accomplished
he explodes
beside the floater’s head
ah
the perfect
honey pot
I always thought ‘honey pot’ was another way of saying ‘chamber pot’ !!!

Like all words and phrases, multiple meanings are always possible and those meanings can change even within cities and cultures. Bombing those unsuspecting floaters from the top board was always great fun, especially if you managed to hit the water about six inches from their heads. It was, of course, banned, and therefore double fun, as you can well imagine.
