Excerpt from ‘The Lovely Muse’

Shilo The Shark

On Monterey’s coast

There’s a lovely little park

That is seldom in use

Because of Shilo the shark

Shilo was a gentle soul

With a knack for flirtation

And yet to the locals

She has a different reputation

You see years ago

A surfer wanted to flaunt his might

But for sweet Shilo

His gorgeous body was a delight

She went in for a kiss

Yet it was a miss

He gave her a slight

And so she took a bite
