poor Robert Shaw
getting fatally gnawed
on that boat
when he’d done his best
to keep it afloat
tagging the shark
with barrels and rope
but ending up sneaker deep in its throat
saying aaargh and geeennnneeesh
through bloody gritted teeth
as Carcharodon carcharias
chowed down on his sorry ass
succumbing to the bite
of the big great white
despite
all his fight
Quint couldn’t quite
grapple this
the last shark snack from the Indianapolis
