'Jaws' visits Rockaway Beach

A thresher shark washed ashore in the Rockaways yesterday but while some ran for their lives, others on the beach simply pushed him back into the water, saving his life:

Shark forces closure of Rockaway Beach

GET OUT OF THE WATER!

6-foot shark stranded on Rockaways pushed back to sea

Still the beach may remain closed throughout the weekend as a precaution. The thresher shark is a generally harmless species that does not attack humans.

I like animals a lot but I'm not sure if I'd go out of my way to save a shark.

Sharky, sharky get off the beach,
Can't you hear the people screech?

Get back in the water and go away,
We'll look for you some other day.

You can thrash; you can bite;
you can't scare us, except at night.

You razor teeth might off my arm (or leg),
I don't care; I can wear a peg.

The only thing that worries me
Is that you might be an attorney!

Hark hark,
I saw a shark,
munching on people,
in a cutty sark.

The first of many "developers" has arrived by sea route!

I'd rather see a shark than another "Golden Venture".
