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.

I want to use this idea - just smack them in the nose for a poem. I am always stealing great ideas. Do you mind?
