Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Shark Scare

I am floating lazily in the ocean, enjoying myself when I suddenly realize…
I am wearing a Band-Aid,
A Band-Aid over a small cut.
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
 
I suddenly remember that a great white shark can smell a drop of blood
More than a mile away.
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
 
 
I also remember that a great white has huge teeth that have serrated edges.
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
“GET ME OUT OF HERE!” I yell at my surprised husband, who
Has walked into the bathroom.
