Marc O'Brien Poet Rhyme

About the Last Shark

There once was a great white 
Who was looking for a bite 
And there was a seashore town 
That had smiles instead of a frown 

Preparing for a 100 year celebration
With wind surfing racing 

It took a whole year of work 
And the great white brought a knife and a fork 
Towns people started to disappear 
And there was something out to fear 

Politician Wells who had money to spend 
And put up a nice plan that would be strong enough to defend 
Off the wind surfers did go 
With the shark wanting to feed on the show 

They got through the netting 
then proceeded to do some upsetting 
All this mess 
Nearly made  rich man Wells confess 

But he never shook in his boots 
Until his whirly bird went kapootz 
With a television reporter getting out of hand 
it was up to the author to take a stand 

With Vic Morrow who was on loan or borrow
Played the Quint style for awhile  
The writer ended up the  Captain Brody fighter 
As they went fishing with chum that they were dishing 
The action in independent film was not missing 

It all ended very fast with a nice blast 
While the author threw the punch 
Before taking his golden girl out to lunch
