i just read all the comments people have left to date on this poem of mine: one. one comment....by me! well, Thanks, Bri, for reading! ! ! you are quite a guy! ! bri :) (written almost four years after i left my first comment!)
oh i forgot to add to the poet's note: i wrote this in a notebook longhand, in long lines, as i usually do. then i figured it might look better and maybe be easier for you readers to read if i cut each line approximately in half. i hope you all like it..........or most of you. thanks for listening. bri
Nobody read this poem? ? ! ! Well, I enjoyed it. It's really funny. Like the bit about menopause... Personally, I am very afraid of sharks. I love swimming in the sea. My brother has swum several sea crossings for charity, but not me, sir. Nevertheless, I think sharks have had a smeer campaign against them. They are victims of Bad publicity. They are amazing creatures, who more often than not don't bother with humans. Dolphins that we love so much, are also very effective killing machines.They just don't have a taste for humans. And they have a top notch advertising firm on their side. I have been swimming in a snorkeling pool in South Africa, where there are many sharks. They don't bother about the people at all. So why did God make sharks? I'll ask him next time we talk.
