The Narrow Squeak 2nd Show Chapter Two

I was on the beach............. 
Thought I would take a little swim..... 
Off I went! 
Diving deep........ 
When I saw a triangular fin! 

Dolphins ? I thought? 
Dolphins don't have teeth? 
I heard a cello  in the background........... 
Where have I heard that sound? 
Ah yes! 
I stopped and paused......... 
Damn! 
It was in that film....Jaws! 

I turned and made for the sand......... 
That cello noise was really close now 
Should be banned! 
I was swimming on an olympic level......... 
Can I make dry land? 
It's quite far to go! 

The swish of fin through the water......... 
No time to saunter! 
The gnashing of teeth 
I am still out of reach! 
The water is now shallow 
I am on the straight and narrow! 
The last spurt! 
Whew! 
I hit paydirt! 

Never had sand tasted so good! 
I ploughed on through.......... 
leaving a huge furrow too! 
I survived the ocean blue! 

Now, I am thinking..... 
How about bungee jumping...? 
That will get the heart pumping! 
Dangling on a piece of elastic...... 
sounds fantastic! 
To see me, 
Read chapter three!
