Hanibal the Piranha

Hanibal the piranha
Along the Amazon he swam
Looking for juicy treats
Whether,
Animal, vegetable or man
 
As he swims through the waters
His teeth so razor sharp
Depending on what he eats
He inevitably goes parp
 
Then lots of little bubbles
To the surface they all rise
Where lots of little fishes
Hold their nose and close their eyes
 
This makes Hanibal the Piranha
Awfully, awfully angry
As they forget his razor sharp teeth
For in his belly he's feeling hungry
 
So he rushes through the waters
As little fishes dart and hide
Pacing about his territory
Who to eat, he can't decide

So all you little fishes
Who laugh when Hanibal parps
You'll have to watch your backs
Because Hanibals teeth are sharp

Love the humor but wouldn't want to face those teeth. They say that a man fishing in our lovely state in a lake caught something and did not recognize the fish. Went to take him off the hook and ended up with one less finger. Sara
