Return Of The Meg

I shall not ever swim in seas that swarm with awful fears
I’d never feel at ease in case a great white shark appears
But now there’s a laboratory that can cure my woes
They bring back long dead creatures and, I’m told, everything goes

I don’t care what it costs to bring back the megalodon
This massive shark ate everything and great whites would be gone
So bring back the megalodon to eat all those great whites
Then I can skinny dip again, quite safe, on moonlit nights

It took some time but it’s been done; the Meg now rules the waves 
He’s eaten all the creature that sent swimmers to their graves
So now I swim with confidence; the Meg’s been back awhile 
And look, I see one coming… don’t you love that gaping smile

Ilene Bauer May 2, 2025 at 10:34 AM Ha! The perfect ending, Terry! I very much enjoyed… Terry Flood May 2, 2025 at 3:01 PM I’d be little more than an aperitif to the average megalodon, Ilene. Perhaps, though, we should let extinction have its way… mind you… I would love to see a Tyrannosaurus rex…………. From a distance ;-)

Tom Cunningham May 2, 2025 at 8:04 AM Well Quint is going to need an even bigger boat lol. Tom. Tom Cunningham May 2, 2025 at 9:11 PM Lol Lin, you're right there. Der Der, dum dum. Terry Flood May 2, 2025 at 2:52 PM Loved Jaws. 50th anniversary about now. Could happily watch it again today and enjoy it just as much. Terry Lin Lane May 2, 2025 at 2:51 PM Not a boat, Tom. Maybe a battleship!

Lin Lane May 1, 2025 at 7:12 PM lol Terry. What makes you feel secure that the Meg won't find you a tasty appetizer? I have a fear of what lurks beneath the surface. As long as those sharp tooth creatures stay off the land, I'll stay out of their waters. We may have to find a way to live with dire wolves and Mammoths. One question to those scientists... Why? Lin Lane May 2, 2025 at 2:50 PM Lots of big mouth sharks around,Terry… ;-) Terry Flood May 2, 2025 at 2:45 PM I had considered calling this ‘Flawed Thinking’ or ‘I’ll Conceived’ but settled for ‘The Return Of The Meg’ to fit the remit of the contest. I once read that there was no actual evidence that the megalodon is extinct…. Duh!!! Maybe that’s why we see them all over the place. Scientists… sheesh!
