Out of the Pool

A public swimming pool is closed
Some hours every week
Allowing pious women in
With men denied a peek.

Religions are entitled to
Whatever rules they choose
But not when their conditions
Cause some other groups to lose.

A swimming pool that’s public
Means it’s open to us all.
Excluding certain people
Violates the protocol.

For those who’ll only swim
When in a modest no-man zone,
The answer is to build a private
Pool club of their own.
