Australian Sharks, Dorsal Beer Chests and Fosters Beer
Australian Sharks, Dorsal Beer Chests and Fosters Beer
Preamble
Prompted by Colin Hill and Brian Maryon
I'm just a learning poet
A poet in progress
If I make mistakes
Forgive. I'm under stress
Colin, Brian you've challenged me
To rhyme about our sharks
Who carry with them Fosters
Do I hear 'what the fark?'
(this is a clean rhyme...
please refrain from expletives...
thankyou)
What I'm about to tell you
Few Australians know
Barring sharky experts
Of which I am a pro
Don't go and scoff. I'm knowledgeable
About our friendly shark
I am about to shed some
Shark light in your dark
Our sharks are quite unique Col/Brian
They've got these dorsal chests
To store their ice-cold Fosters in
And share with sharky guests
Surprised you didn't know this
'Twas covered in the Sun
But silly me I have forgot
Only commoners read, for fun
The fact that Sun did cover it
Suggests I'm knowledge-raw
Our sharks must do some sexy romp
Of which I never saw
I hope your challenge I have met
And satisfied your thirst
For beer and sharks rhymed rhythmically
Next challenge please? (I thirst)

Col and Keith.
On a rare occasion I'm going off-rhyme. Rhyme is in my blood. It's like metronome constantly beating away. To me rhyme is the music to which I add a voice, my message.
I write different. And will continue.
Thanks for your support ?
PS Yes, Tiger does come out of Singapore. I had to type in my date of birth before being let into their website !! Can't let Tiger loose on little boys...
