Holding On While Letting Go

Ode to "Sharknado"

Ode to "Sharknado"

Watch out for the Sharknado

Or you'll get swept away

Into the thousands of angry sharks

That completely destroyed L.A.

Two brave shark-slayers reported for duty

Their names are Nova and Fin

They drove all the way to Beverly Hills

To make certain no sharks had gone in.

And, from there, they journeyed on

Rescuing Fin's ex-wife and daughter

But their quest was far from over--

More sharks they had to slaughter.

They found more members for their team

Who didn't want sharks to rule

Then, suddenly, Fin remembered something--

His son was still at flight school!

So, they reached their destination

And also reached a solution

Across the street, they found supplies

To end this shark pollution.

Powerful bombs needed be dropped

Into the swirling winds

Nova went up in a helicopter

With her was a friend of Fin's.

One and two went down, but three did not

Poor Nova would get swallowed

By the waterspout rampaging through town

And the sharks that followed.

Alas, the girl could not be saved

Not yet, at least, but wait--

Fin's friend found a way to succeed

And the sharks took the bait.

Fin though they had won the day

Until the same shark jumped from behind

And caught him in its gnashing jaws--

That shark was not very kind.

All the rest thought they had lost

Until a sign of hope:

Through the shark's side burst a buzzing chainsaw--

Had the shark killed them? Nope.

There was plenty of violence that day

For the sharks, much blood had been shed

In conclusion, don't ever leave home

Without a chainsaw--"enough said."
