Water

I hit the flawless blue water with a big splash.
I put my head under and made a quick dash.
I kicked and I swum with a feeling of glee.
Then I looked back only to see that my brother was gaining on me.
I jumped on the boat with a feeling of gloat.
The water below splashed on my face and my brother then shouted that he had won the race.
Just to be mean I started the boat quickly. This gave my brother a big scare.
My brother then claimed that the reason his face had gone pale so quickly was because of the cold air.
I pulled the boat into shore and wished that this day would never end.
