Jaws'
Justification (to the tune of
“I am sailing” *)
by Jane Dards
I was swimming.
I was swimming
through the waters
of the bay.
I was grabbing
tasty morsels
that came thrashing
in my way.
Maybe I got
kinda grouchy
with those guys who
chased me down.
There’d have been no
bleedin’ trouble
if they’d just left
me alone.
* to be sung in Rod Stewart's gravelly and
rather out-of-tune voice.

"Jaws' Justification" was first published in
The
Oldie January 2009.
The competition was to "write a piece of
self-justification by a fictional villain to the tune of
a well-known song".
