shark attack

A boy on an airbed goes in the sea

Laughing and joking and playing free

His mother says don’t go out to far

As she lays down in the shade beside her car

The boy swims and then decides to float

But the current takes him out to sea

Were the big fish are there swimming free

He feels the hot sun on his bare neck

He turns around startled he decides it`s time to swim back

But a shadow he sees from the corner of his eye

A glint in the water he is scared and starts to cry

A dark fin passes closely by

A slash and a bite and the airbed lets out a sigh

The boys in the water he`s done for as he cannot swim

He goes under twice his eyes going dim

His eyes go black locked open with fear

He now knows his death is near

He feels a pain in his leg and tries to scream

Please let this just be a terrible dream

He sees a red cloud all around him his face is white his eyes show fear

The dark shape come`s closer getting bigger as it draws near

Its mouth opens its teeth sharp and mean

Cuts though his waist cutting him clean

No word can help this lad no more

His lifeless body sinks to the clear ocean floor.
