Wise Granddaughter
But Grandma, there is a big shark in the pool the five-year-old said.
If I dive in like you want I will most likely end up dead.
Grandma was paying for the swim lessons. She told her to get in!
The instructor dove in first and was eaten from his feet to his chin.
The second child to jump was devoured in one gulp of shark fun.
The wise child with the grandma was now swiftly on the run.
As she dashed past grandma she grabbed her pocketbook and keys.
If the shark ate her too, she wanted a way to get home, if you please.
