You learn real quick it still gives me a shiver,
not to skinny-dip in a river.
All us kids were out one night,
down by the river in the moonlight.
Old Woodrow he was
just one of those good old boys,
stripped down that night and yelled ahoy.
He ran for the river and splashed real good,
and the rest of the gang followed
as he knew they would.
We twernt there very long
when low and behold,
when we heard Woodrow
scream oh hell no.
He swam to the bank
and when he stood aloft,
he was bleeding for something
had torn his nipple clean off.
He jumps out of the water
and yells protect the jewels,
there some man eaten fish in that thar river
for sure running in a school.
We all laughed and didn't pay him no mind,
but when the little buggers latched on
we were treading water that's right.
Being it was pretty dark
one took out a flashlight,
shinning it all about
and looking at each others bites.
Woodrow began to laugh
and the others chimed in,
for old Carl still had one of the buggers
still latched on to him.
Yihaw Carl yelled with fear,
get it off get it off be quick my dear.
Looked like a bow-tie hanging there
where fish should never go,
and the gang commenced to remove it
and he put on quite a show.
You see those little fish in the river,
found some new bait for sure.
And in the feast they commenced to enjoy,
cured them from skinny-dipping forever more.

This contest was not for rhyming poetry.

Haha. I have never heard of getting attacked by perch. We have perch but not man-eaters. At first I thought it was about leeches, then I thought it was snapping turtles.
It is a great story. I loved it.
