The Shark and the Boy

Once there was a little boy who loved to snack and play with toys.

He perched upon the ottoman and gave his mom an impish grin.

The boy had a problem though, for a shark swam in the waters below.

He eyed the snacks the boy did eat and plotted to have all of those treats.

Round and round the shark did swim, but that boy was not afraid of him.

Come here shark, I heard him say.  I have a surprise for you today.

But the shark smelled what his diaper held, then he yelped and 

Swam away.

Poetically yours,
