Jaws!

(Gary Bowman)

.
A gentle reminder to those of us who judge, sensationalize and over-react to things we know very little about.

Henry David Thoreau wrote..."I have no doubt that one shark in a dozen years is enough to keep up the reputation of a beach a hundred miles long" (Cape Cod, 1855-1865).

.
Lurking in the shadows, Shadows blue;
Sleek and fast, Glides into view
Shovel snout, and beady eyes;
Rows of teeth, That paralyze – JAWS

Knifing through the water, Gun-metal gray,
(There’s a) dorsal fin, Coming my way
My heart stops, When you are near;
Big-time chops, Big-time fear – JAWS

Ever wonder why we flee,
This beautiful creature of the sea? – It’s your JAWS!
Everybody makin’ a correlation
Tryin’ to assess the situation,
Hey, Just balancing the population,
Don’t take much to build a reputation
When you got JAWS!

So, do unto others, just as you
Would have them do unto you.
‘Cause nobody’s perfect, We all got flaws,
And you just might be someone else’s JAWS

Top Dog, Cool Cat, King of the Sea,
(You’re a) model of efficiency – You got JAWS!
You’re so bad, ‘Cause you’re so good, And so easily misunderstood! - JAWS
We gotta be more introspective
Take some time to be reflective
Hey, you don’t have to be a detective
It’s just a matter of perspective – Talkin’ JAWS!

Lurkin’ in the shadows, Shadows blue;
Sleek and fast, Glides into view
Shovel snout, and beady eyes;
Rows of teeth, That paralyze - JAWS
