Shark Attacks

Every two months in dear old Australia 
A shark attacks a man without failure 
Now this very disturbing statistic 
Might seem overly simplistic.

But it’s time the nation acted
And had all sharks’ teeth extracted 
I know that this might sound rough 
But the poor bloke’s just had enough. 

Every time he goes for a dip
A bloody shark decides to let rip
He’s got bites on his bum some on the hand 
He’s been bitten at sea bitten on land.

Lucky not to be in a shark’s tummy
Bandaged that much he looks like a mummy
Australian men are pretty tough
But this poor bugger’s just had enough.
