Bit By My Shark Skin Suit

by Michael Dowdin - Not entered

One day, I was walking down the road 
clean as a chitterlin'.
When I was suddenly bit, I immediately
looked for the assassin.

It was my light gray suit made from 
a large shark.
My suit was imported from the catalog
of Noah's Ark.

I wondered what I had done to cause
this from my suit.
After that, I chased it around our small
town in hot pursuit.

I screamed, "you crook; you bit my
handsome and muscular body."
"When I catch you, this will be your
last time; I will put you in custody."

Since, I was going on a date, I
took pains to choose my attire.
Everywhere I went in my shark
skin suit; people would admire.

My shark skin suit jumped into
the lake and started to swim.
He will not get away with this;
I am going in after him.

Reason for writing:

    Everyone can remember the shark skin suits of the 60's and 70's.
Never has a suit been so popular. However, this one was different.
It came alive. This poem is from my book, "When It's Ok To Be Crazy!"
"A smile is worth a million!"    Marva L. Dowdin
