    Nessie had been undetected by the Obstacle Warning System
    I escaped her and Lake Washington and to the Gulf I swam,
    My Open Water Swim was then an Oily Water Sewer.
    Where's an Oil Water Separator when you need one?

    My Overall Wellness Score rocked; I had done it for the gipper!
    I was feeling strong, I was feeling hipper...
