Officials temporarily closed several New Jersey beaches after spotting sharks near shore. Midway Beach lifeguard Jamie Nelson says he got everyone out of the water when he spotted what he described as two dorsal fins.
Jaws In Jersey
They spotted some sharks off New Jersey Beaches
And took matters in hand with no long-winded speeches.
The warnings went out from the powers that be:
No more swimming 'round there till they've gone out to sea.
Stay out of the water while the sharks are near land!
Can't have our folks losing a foot or a hand.
Stay on dry land, stay away from those fins;
When shark and man tussle, the fish always wins.
Officials are watching to spot any dorsals,
So New Jersey bathers don't turn into morsels.
So far as is known, there have been no attacks.
It may be the sharks are just trolling for snacks.
