Predators...

Remember this the next time you swim, primarily in the ocean...


Poem Artwork

Sharks are at the Jersey shore, swarming,
And as the ocean temperatures are warming,
More & more swimmers are there to on feed,
Sharks on a swimmer, like a torpedo, can make a bead…

Though in reality people have a better chance,
To be struck by lightning than to with a shark dance,
If you really knew how many fish did swim by you,
When swimming you are just 50 yards from shore,
You’d probably literally poop your pants…

After all it is their domain,
For food they are searching,
And they are attracted by human scents,
If you bleed, surely we all know what happens,
But you should know if you pee in the water,
It is a human scent that does of sharks attract,
All this and more is not a so well known fact…

When I was by the Pacific Ocean I was only up to
my ankles in water because I didn't want a shark
coming up to me to say "Hello."

Always,

Deborah

I watched a man pat a Great White on the head at Dyer Island, South Africa - Those babies were bigger than the boat we were in - Awesome!

Prefer a pool but the ocean is the best even with an occasional shark swimming by. Considering the thousands of people at a beach, you never hear of a shark attacking them. It is rare but very scary when it happens.

To think I've swum on the shores of the Atlantic from Maine to Jacksonville, Fla.. 'Where ever my oldest brother in the Navy was stationed that summer! Whew!

Love ya!

I'll pass on becoming shark bait, thank you. I'm funny that way . . .
