Chad was a cocky lad who took a dare.
He had to descend in a cage in shark waters,
But the dare wasn’t much of a dare.
The steel barred cage was impenetrable.
No shark ever busted into it after many tries.
Chad knew he had the odds of a casino,
A sure win and massive bragging rights.
When Chad got suited up with air tanks
The cage was lowered into the sea.
As if on cue, a shark rushed the cage
And banged against it over and over.
Chad laughed at it and gave it the finger.
The shark backed off and swam away.
But returned with a posse of six sharks
That banged the cage with extreme force
Until the cage broke and the last of Chad
Was a one way trip in a shark’s jaws
To the bottom of a deep dark sea.
