The endangered grey swimmer

As my arm rests on the rim                  

I see a large fin 

As I look across the reef

A look of disbelief

It zips around

Like a car going through town

Through the coral it goes

As the salty air fills my nose

My heart skips a beat

But my friends help me to a seat

A harpoon is shot

As I tell my friends to do not

The shark lies dead

As it is engulfed in red

Along comes a shiver of sharks

Coming around to look at the marks

It drifts off into space

To only be picked up for human taste

We must stop this I said

Or all reef sharks will be dead
