Megalodon
Carson Marsh (with Karen Marsh) 2005 (WV)
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!
