Eight-line Poems

Sharks But No Jets

Sharks But No Jets

Hark, hark, the sharks do bark
and sometimes ride the surf;
they do it just to make their mark
and delineate their turf.

With jaws like saws they’ll give you pause
and make you yell for mother.
Don’t hang about to find the cause,
run faster than the others.
