The Land Shark


There’s that thing floating out of the dark

The locals call it the land shark

It can smell blood from miles away

It’s the most vicious thing in this suburban bay



It hunts to kill

And rarely fits the bill

It floats on land but walks on water

Searching for the easiest slaughter



It doesn’t eat humans

It eats land

Smoking fat Cubans

And gobbling up sand



It doesn’t famine it feasts

It’s one of the biggest baddest beasts

Get in the way of his hungry bite

And be prepared to see the light



Once it gets its dinner

It’s back to its house

Call him a winner

And take off her blouse



The land shark is as happy as can be

He’s king of the suburban sea

Got no troubles

Just keeps blowin’ his bubbles

  1. love the humor and the pacing in this poem. The end is also good- leaves the reader satisfied. try mixing up your rhyme schemes or not even rhyming at all to give your pieces some variety. but well done, I really like this one. keep pennin tom
