Message In a Bottle - Help - Bob

I've been marooned on this isle for months
Sharks circle here licking their chops
Haven't had very much grub
Just some coconut meat
No gals in grass skirts
Tsunami near
Oh dear me
Ahoy
Help

You had me giggling, Bob. If you ever find yourself in this predicament, make a spear from the coconut trees and try to kill some sharks. They'll at least keep you alive...until the tsunami hits! Funny poem, my friend. Love, Carolyn (I really was called "weird Carolyn" for the reasons described in the poem. LOL Best wishes in the contest -- it would be hard to top this one! Love, Carolyn
