Maybe you're just doing it wrong?
Get your feet wet with this,

There were dragonflies, spotted butterflies,
But best of all was the warm thick slobber
Of frogspawn that grew like clotted water
In the shade of the banks.

| Cumberland police Chief Rick Rieper, left, and high school principal Ritchie Narges admire a senior class prank created by four students who altered a beater car, hauled it to school at midnight Sunday and set it up to make it appear as if the vehicle crashed into the building. |
Konur Pasko, one of the students involved in pulling off the prank, said the idea grew from an evening talk with his dad, Jon Pasko, the technology education teacher in Cumberland schools. A friend of the younger Pasko had purchased an old car and then sold it for $200 on Friday after it was discovered to have severe front suspension problems.
“We have this junk car. Now what are we going to do with it?” Konur Pasko said.
The Paskos then came up with the idea to use that vehicle as part of a senior class prank. During the weekend, Konur Pasko and three fellow seniors — Cody Paul, Adrian Warner and Jacob Woodley — gutted the engine and removed the car’s front seats, panels, wiring and other parts bit by bit, and then cut off the remaining front portion. They gathered bricks at Konur Pasko’s grandpa’s house and then loaded the car onto a trailer.
Precisely at midnight, they arrived at the school, quickly attached the car to a stone bench against a wall, stretched black tape and plastic, and scattered bricks. Seven minutes later, they left the scene.
“We didn’t want to be there long because we didn’t want to attract attention,” Konur Pasko said.
"Nothing you can do that can't be done. Nothing you can write that can't be run..."
