Poetry Thursday

 

Once again Angel Sammys and and Teddys Pawetatonc have challenged us to write a poem about the picture below.  Please to Enjoy

One day the sharks stopped eating

And the rich and powerful held a meeting

And after hours of brow beating

Decided to feed the old people to the sharks to keep the sharks numbers from depleting. 

But how would they fill the beaches with the old

They would lure them there with gold

And with warranties sold by rap stars whose careers had gone cold

But that they were shark chum could never be told

In truth many of the rich and powerful wanted the seniors to go away 

They drive to slow on the freeway

They don't know how to use the apple app to pay

And they talk about the constitution and disarmament who knows what they have to say

The day came to feed the sharks

And the seniors arrived happily ready for a lark

They piled off the bus before the driver could park

To prepare for the cold the men sipped on Cutty Sark

When the sharks found the humans they could not wait

And they prepared to eat and celebrate

But a whiff of the humans made them irate

This food was well past the sell by date

From a near by dock the board was in shock

And yelled at the sharks that this was a crock

The sharks formed a committee ad hoc

And soon were eating the board members after ramming the dock

The board was consumed without a plate or cup

And that is how they became sup

 To an important fact the board never wised up

That when you get to big you get eatin up
