What is the Meaning of Dabble?

Dabble

Once I found myself upon
The edge of quite a tranquil pond
Into which I dabbled both my feet
Only for a little bit
Giving them a little dip
Paddling them about was rather neat

Until the monster of the pool
Gave both of my feet a pull
And scared the frightened freckles off my face!
Especially when the slimy thing
Told me that if I would sing
He wouldn't eat me after saying grace…

Lucky so I thought was I
Thinking that I would not die
Today because I had been known to dabble
In singing for the local choir
So I sang with fervent fire
Until the creature hit me with a paddle

"That was really bad" he said
"But before I eat your head
Maybe you could do a little dance?"
At last I thought because I knew
I had dabbled in dancing too
That maybe now I had an even chance

So I hopped and bopped about
Until the pond man wretched and belched
"I hope for your sake that you're a good swimmer!"
I did not need to ask him why
Because his jaws were opened wide
getting ready to eat me for dinner!

But thankfully I'd dabbled in
Swimming too so I jumped in
The pond and splashed right to the other side
I'd like to say I made it but
I'm writing this inside his gut
While waiting to come out his other side!
