Megalodon



If I were a fish I might live in a dish.

Or, maybe I would take the bait and end up as dinner on a plate.

If I were a fish for what would I wish?

I’d wish for water on a bigger scale, in an ocean I could be a whale!

In waters of blue the world would be new.

When the sun goes down and the water gets dark, I might prefer to be a great white shark!

Kids on the beach would search to find my teeth!

As a shark I could certainly leave my mark!

Or, one day when my species was gone, Paleontologist would discover that I was Megladon!
