Backdoor

I was surfing the Banzai Pipe When the Backdoor opened like hype A shark lurking there Missed me by an hair But my shorts sure needed a wipe! Some say the Hawaiian island of O'ahu got its name from the last words of a surfer who encountered a shark: "Oh! AH! oo")!

Wow, you've given us quite an image; I have known local surfers who see sharks here often. And your explanation of Oo ah hoo is hilarious, Rico. I love your limericks! Hugs, carolyn
