Pacu

PACU
Have you heard about the Pacu
A South American fish
With molars like a human
With which they like to squish
Tree nuts in the water
When they find this tasty dish

But lately local swimmers
While swimming in the buff
Have encountered this same Pacu
With their tree nut looking stuff
And I’m told that once encountered
Once encountered is enough

So if swimming in the river
In just your birthday suit
You’d best avoid the tree line
Where you see its floating fruit
Or you risk the bite of Pacu
You can bet your sweet patoot

Uncle Mike

So that's the name of this one... I just escaped... I don't know how. May be it was a dream after all!
