UNDER THE SEA

As I went down to explore the ocean floor,
an old boat is what I saw.
As I went in for a closer look
a Great White Shark came over me.
The shark had one look at me and he knew I looked pretty tasty.
I went up and down but there was no way out.
I swam into the reef, I tried to get out
but I got stuck on something sharp and green. My hands were used to set me free,
I needed a breath to help me.
I floated to the top, gasping for air.
I swam to shore, feeling very poor.
I knew I was going to get saved,
my head turning the other way.
Helicopter overhead, saved me from the dread.
