Look Mum, Is It A Shark Poem by James McLain

I wouldn't advise going in
naked either,
as there are still very large cat fish
swimming out in the gulf
but for the oil not of a fish,
when nationalized i see
each sea and mighty it's waves
our ocean this deficit would then
not be...
..............
Asking dolphins and whales
your water for their land
roles reversed would they
for the forest
inside you to see is a bush
with a stream lined face
mustache milk of contrails
back up to yonder that hill..

Look mum, is it a shark?

No dear, it is a cat fish
watch out as they don't
eat little pellets
the one's that grow in the sea.
