Mary, Mary, was quite wary,
Found White Pointer rather scary.
Yet when invited in to dine,
Had no complaints - there wasn't time.

Anna, Anna, drifted down stream,
Trailed hand from boat, in day-dream.
Crocodile claiming hand as its own,
Took Anna below, to her new home.

Sarah, Jane, and Cynthia, too,
All tried to cram into one canoe.
Tiger sharks snapped off arm and leg.
"Enough's enough", the Trio begged.

Belinda, of Olinda, fished for a meal,
Felt tug on line, so in it did reel.
Hooked Hammerhead thwarted her aim,
Belinda's loss, was this shark's gain.

Matilda, of St.Kilda, went on a sea cruise,
And diet - to see if fat she could lose.
Fell overboard, when on deck alone,
Sharks slimmed her down, to nothing but bone.

Gertrude, the Geisha, went whaling one day,
Suffered amnesia, along the way.
Harpooned whale shark, 'cos it's large and slow.
But what would a landlubber Nip-chick know?

Isobel, Isobel, out for a lark,
Made a face at Wobbegong shark.
Shark went pale, and turned to flee;
Iso was quicker - flake for tea.
========================
Moral:
Whether Man, or Maid, or Sharks, have chance,
Depends on Techno-Circumstance.
Little surviving in Tomorrow's Sea,
Most becoming: Mythology.
