Paula's Prompt: Jingle Shark

And now for something completely silly. :)

On April 25, 2018, P.T. Wyant posted at ptwyant.com  a Wednesday Words prompt involving a shark, jingle bells, and rain.

This brought out the ridiculous, ahem, whimsical side of me. This poem was the result...

Rain doesn’t bother the shark

Shapeshifting into her aquatic form

Bringing terror to the fishes

Leaving bloody trails in her wake

If only humans would stop singing, “Jingle Bells”!

Bad enough that they squat on her ocean

In their ridiculous human constructs called ‘boats’

Pathetic attempts to float

Casting their nets into her ocean

Skimming off her supply of fish

Still they insist on singing, “Jingle Bells!”

In their flat, off key voices

There are no bells out here

They’re far away from their farting foghorns

What are they singing about?

No one horse open sleigh will save the humans

Not from her angry bite

It doesn’t stop them from bellowing, “Jingle Bells!”

Now the song is stuck in her head

Even if she’s a shark in the middle of the ocean

And it’s mid spring.
