Good stuff, my friend. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
The picture & music, again, add so much to the reading. The shark looks very pleased with himself. Something about that tongue. lol Reminds me of my dog while we're playing catch.
The authors note also helps out. The last line especially. You're like, Shark Tail...Shark Shit...get it?

Hah, yeah...that tongue. See , there in lies the rub. Do sharks, in fact, even HAVE tongues? Someone asked me earlier, and I replied that I supposed that they did. But now, they've caused me to reflect a bit on my hastily given reply, to say, I don't friggin' know, (LOL)??
Thanks for the fantastic comments and the review, CT!

A great send-off for your Fanfriend, Dean. I like this pictogram style poem. I was able to view it this time as you had it all lined up to the left - THANKS - much easier. Great rhymes, especially for a surfing aficionado.
Warm regards, Bev

Thanks, Bev. It is helpful, constructive reviews such as the ones you've given this format in the past that have helped me to realize what works well, and what...not so well. I will continue to hone and refine this process, to best entertain you in every way that I can muster.
Thanks for your continued support, and this wonderful review!

You're most welcome, Dean. My pleasure! Bev

Nice tribute to your friend, Dr. Dip. It's very funny, clever, and well done. Love the graphics and music. Didn't realize sharks had tongues :).

You know something, Green Lake Girl? I did not realize that sharks had tongues, either! Unfortunately for my good friend, the dipster, he got an up close, personal view. At least, in my writing, he did...Heaven help me if he ever was REALLY attacked by a shark. I'd feel about as low as anyone could possibly feel.
Thanks, again, for your appreciation of this "lighter side" of my poetic offerings. They won't pop up often...

I hope dr. dip read this. It is a great and enjoyable read and deserved all the stars and ribbons. I loved the graphics and the music to go with it. Well done on another exceptional poem.

Ah, come on, sharks are not that bad. Have you ever swum with them? They are such pussycats.

I'd swim with a whale shark in a heartbeat, I think that would be an awesome experience! But, a Great White? Um-m-m-m-m, nah, I'll pass. I need my arms for typing. For this Shark Whisperer woman, the same fate that befell Steve Irwin awaits her, I'm afraid. It's only a matter of time.
Thanks, JM, for that awesome video! Geesh, that chick is nutz!

By the way, I have swum with sharks. lol. I'm crazy guy, huh? But I had no choice. I was just caught by surprise. Like 5 sharks passed just by me. Now it is funny, back then, i wet myself. hehe

I would have filled hat ocean with more that piss, I can tell you that! I have a deep seeded, ingrained fear of sharks. If one would ask me what I am most terrified o, sharks would be my #1 answer!

You won't believe me, but I got stuck a whole day in a well filled with snakes and they didn't bite me, and those sharks just passed by me and said hello and moved on. I think I'm the luckiest man alive.

This shark poem is sort of off for me, though can see why you are popular, as life sometime can be boring, especially when it comes to poetry....So, why not jive it up some & make it what you do, sure to sell, like Mad magazine once did...

Thanks Caressa_08, I think? I'm not sure if I was just told I'm a popular dime store hack, or that I sucked...anyhow, thanks for reading...
Comment from Ridley Williams
Well, Dean, that was a sappin' fine write. The music brought the piece "alive", indeed, I checked behind my chair as I wrote this, just in case. I hate being caught off guard, he he. I wish I could have had the opportunity to have read some of the "dipster's" work. It was a great send off piece, Bill

Thanks very much, Bill. His work is still there for the reading, so...anytime, feel free!

Dean, I cheated and found him through your "fans" page. Thanks for the follow-up, Bill
-
No problem, Bill I am glad that you found him. The link I sent you to his page did not work?
-
I'm sure it would have, but with my carpol tunnel, if I can do it in two clicks as apposed to three, I take the easy way. Thanks for your help, I've already read a couple of Dr. Dips pieces. Thanks again, Bill

I gotcha' there, my friend!

Hilarious, I could not believe myself, that I really looked at that sharks picture, so daring, and so confident you are. I enjoyed very much your poem, but before the end, there is a writing, I could not read it. Too dark. Terry

LOL. Love both the picture, the music, and poem, especially the last stanza. Your couplets rhyme so naturally. This was a fun read. Fresh manfood. yum, yum. Clever use of alliteration throught out, especially shark shit!

Yeah, wouldn't you know it? "Shark shit" just happened to be the best alliteration in the entire poem. Now, just what does that say about my writing? (LOL)
Thanks for checkin' this one out for me, Spit!
