Shark!!!!!

Julie Wimmer

Shark! Oh no! Look at that shark!
Get out of the water, please, oh my,
the water seems so scary and dark.

Move out of the way I say,
the creature is not there to say "hi."
Just watch out and I will pray!

Wait a second now, this seems really odd,
I may not actually have to cry!
This shark, it seems, is actually a bit of a nimrod.

The shark is swimming the other way.
Is he slow or just really shy?
This my friend, by God, is your lucky day!

    On our last day in Daytona we saw a video on the news about a shark that jumped out of the water just behind some boogie boarders - glad my kiddos didn't see that at the beginning of our vacation!

    Great poem, and fantastic photo. Hopefully it's a dolphin in the photo and not a shark!
