I Have a Shark's Tooth
I have a shark's tooth
Found under the soil not so deep
In my Kansas yard.
I hide it from others so they will not ruin
My illusions about it.
I feel it is from a fierce and mighty shark
Who devoured little fish, and even maybe a human leg.
I picture it as being from prehistoric times.
I hide it especially well when the archeologists come visit
We have a creek in the backyard where they have had a dig
Discovering hundreds of arrowheads
And maybe an axe handle, but not the one I am hiding with
My shark's tooth. For I do not want anyone to ruin my
Axe handle illusions either.
