Jaws

Jaws, why are you dropping in disbelief?

Tell me, Jaws, why are you clenching in silent grief?

Is the sorrow you feel inside, something secret you can't confide?

Or is it just because, everyone calls you Jaws?

Jaws, Jaws, why are you gaping in shocked surprise?

Jaws, why are there tears in your tiny eyes?

Does it make you so sad to find that people can be unkind?

And does it give you pause?

Does it appall you, Jaws?

And does it give you pause?

Does it appall you, Jaws?

Your fin is flashing

Your tail is lashing

Your teeth are gnashing, crashing like deadly saws

And you wonder why the world withdraws

From your fearful, frightening, sphincter-tightening

Jaws
