Day At the Beach

beach day
I play

no turf
go surf

offshore
no oar

ocean
motion

I took
a look

I saw
a maw

sharp teeth
unsheathed

bright white
large bite

shark bait
my fate

I swam
I scrammed

faster
faster

faster
passed her

freestyle
sea mile

achieve
reprieve

ashore
before

dispensed
past tense

some fun
I'm done
