About the Teeth of Sharks
by John Ciardi
The thing about a shark is — teeth,
One row above, one row beneath.
Now take a close look. Do you find
It has another row behind?
Still closer — here, I’ll hold your hat:
Has it a third row behind that?
Now look in and…Look out! Oh my,
I’ll never know now! Well, goodbye.
