A ninesquare poem about overcoming fears

She does not want to get her head wet.
Everyone witnesses cowardice
Says Alice is silly and stupid

She has one good friend who does not laugh
Cheerfully modelling performance
Claims "diving is always fun, Alice!"

She takes a deep breath and holds her nose.
Advances cannonball position
Falls, splashes, wet soaking, feels happy
