As I swim in the water it lurks beneath;
ardent eyes and dagger-like teeth.
It bit my arm so I slapped its face
then swam for my life but it gave chase.
I reached the sand but it didn't stop there,
the thing rose from the water with matted fur.
I sprinted forwards, as fast as a car,
but the crazy thing followed me into the bar!
My tired eyes rested on its wet, pink nose
then I looked at the barman and ordered two strongbows.
