"Welcome to Great White Theme Park"!

"Welcome to Great White Theme Park"!

A Poem by Michael Stevens
"

NOT a very good idea!

"
                                                     


How humiliating! Reduced to this, just to make a few bucks.

I'm a feared predator, but this seafood economy sucks!

I was forced to take this job, and it pisses me off to the core.

Time to get real and adapt, I guess, and ignore our lore,

 

I may be a brute killer by nature, but I'd better get past that.

I'll smile, and pose for pictures with fat-cat

lazy tourists too stupid to realize

they're tempting fate, are none-too-wise.

 

Playing nursemaid to a bunch of Bermuda short-wearing,

pasty-skinned tourists has got me swearing

like a sailor, at least the one's who managed to scream,

before I ate them whole, and after they creamed

 

their Swabbies--I believe their pants are called.

Anyway, I'm told I need to play nice, but it galls

me to no end, but hey, this is how the game's now played.

It's a politically-correct world, and images are made

 

by appearance alone, and I want to make money.

And a little less attack-mode, and a lot more honey

to bait the trap, will lure them in.

They'll buy our bullshit, and in the end, we'll win!
