Rico Leffanta Poet Verse

Sharks

The sharks in Hawai'i
Just love a good feast
Fresh from Japan
Or somewhere back East

There's always the cost -
An arm or a leg -
But natives will carve you
A coconut peg

So jump in the ocean!
Its really a thrill
To watch baby sharks
Share their first kill!

Lindsay Laurie October 5, 2020 at 7:56 PM G’day Rico … when we invade a sharks territory of course all they see is dinner - be very careful Rico - Lindsay Rico Leffanta October 6, 2020 at 10:49 AM If people would make the time to "know their enemy", they would find sharks are easy to get along with if one doesn't tempt them. Aloha! Rico

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart September 26, 2020 at 10:29 AM Humans infesting shark’s waters, paying an arm and a leg for their trouble. ;), xomo! Rico Leffanta September 26, 2020 at 11:07 AM Thanks to Donald Trump, MILLIONS fewer tourists muddy the waters of Waikiki, so reef fish have returned with sharks to feed on the fish, hence sharks have been sighted every day of the past fortnight in Waikiki, and everyone complains because sharks don't spend money! Aloha! Rico
