Shark Tale

In my pool, what did I see A shark fin circling me Could this be an illusion Or an actual intrusion My circumstance became clearer As the shark kept drawing nearer I felt a sharp pain in my seat Soon my tail looked like shredded meat A shark's a shark, I can't blame him Why did I have to learn to swim I survived to talk about it But now I have nowhere to sit

I can see your point, lol, but I live on the Gulf Coast... Gulf of Mexico, not Gulf of America.

Hi Lin, yes I agree, though I doubt any sharks are going to migrate to Missouri without some serious assistance, but you always need to be prepared. Thanks for the shout out
