Shark's Teeth

Too many fish are swimming in the sea of my tranquility ---
Causing me to become incapable of retaining sensibility ---
There are fish approaching me from almost every side ---
Leaving me feeling without protection and nowhere to hide ---
So I will just close my eyes and try to calmly think ---
To lessen the horrible pain, as the shark's teeth begin to sink.

oooh, gruesome!!! An interesting read. Yes, maybe if you stayed calm they would not attack. Did you ever see that movie about the couple stuck in an ocean with sharks and finally they just get eaten up? It was pretty dramatic! LUv, andrea
