Prowling Shark
-A prowling shark is nothing to ignore
For although he cannot go ashore,
He waits for you to enter his world
And that is when the drama unfurls.
-You're on a beach in the afternoon sun
Playing with your friends; having fun!
As the afternoon begins to slip,
You all decide to go for a dip.
-You all run in and swim around,
Making very loud and obnoxious sounds.
And as you play, you are unaware
That many eyes are beginning to stare.
-Around the reef, the fish begin to flee
In an attempt to escape the death penalty.
For out of the blue, a dark shape appears
A shape that which every seal knows to fear.
-The shape is long, sleek, smooth and sharp,
Much unlike the freshwater carp.
The fins are large and triangular,
But have a backwards curv'ed nature.
-The tail is a very powerful thing
As it propels the creature forward with every swing.
And as for the color, it is black and white,
And watch out; the creature has a dangerous bite.
-This animal is the Great White Shark,
A shark that you can easily tell apart.
It's back is black, and its belly is white,
And his eyes are as black as the blackest night.
-And while you play, he begins to notice
That while you don't look like a porpoise,
You and your friends kind of look like seals,
And everyone knows that that's his favorite meal.
-You decide to swim farther out,
Pushing deeper into the ocean's mouth.
It is at this point that the prowling shark now dives
I order to end you and your friend's lives.
-Slowly, slowly he cruises
And slowly, slowly he chooses
Of the three only one will receive the bite
Which shall start a hopeless fight.
-As the shark begins to rise,
You feel your heart start to energize.
The adrenaline begins the "fight or flight",
But then the worst happens...
The prowling shark......bites!
