A cautionary tale

"This is bullshit", exclaimed Mark
As his leg was eaten by a shark
That's what you get when you swim in the sea
Plus a substantial risk of swallowing wee.
That's the chance you take - it's the price of fun
As is seven pounds, two shillings and one.
Boredom's much cheaper - it's half price all week,
So we'll all end up climbing the walls, so to speak
But don't try that literally without a harness
Metaphorically is best - mostly harmless
Just like planet Earth in the Hitchhiker's Guide
The road was short, but ever so wide
It didn't take long to reach the end
It was really just around the bend
Where the village meets the sea
The sea, which (remember?) is full of wee.
It's saturated; it couldn't be fuller
Like demand for new smartphones, or fat in a Muller.
Things which are not saturated include
The oil that an olive when pressed will exude.
