Giant Squid of San Francisco

Giant Squid
In warm waters
Alarmed divers don't saunter
Never faulter
To escape

San Francisco Bay
Quietly they come
Inquistive by nature
Diving can be dangerous

Grab diver pull down to deep water
In fear of their lives
Always try to escape
Nerves are shattered
Totally afraid

San Francisco Bay
Quietly they come
Inquisitive by nature
Diving can be dangerous

(Heard a report on educational radio about these baby giant squid in San Francisco Bay. The 
person said that they had been coming in there for several years now probably due to the 
warming waters of the ocean. They are a threat to divers and others because they can get 
hold with their eight arms or legs which either they are and pull the divers to very deep 
water.)

AWESOME!!!! I didn't know the baby giant squid were invading San Fran Bay, but you convey the danger so well. I love the subject and the masterful way you conveyed the story! Love, Carolyn
