Horrific Sounds of the Night

    Hark, hark, thus the lark
      Bark, bark, from in the dark

    No dreaded sounds of killer sharks
      ~ After all, it’s Central Park

That would be a crazy thing to see a killer shark in central park, but stranger things have happened…lol.

Got a few chuckles. I wonder what other sounds go on in Central Park after dark. Thanks for sharing your humor with us. Sara K
