Shark Fin Ban a Happy Splash

Heinous shark 'finning' at long last banned
A world leader now, this Hawaiian land
Ocean beach frolics, frisbees, a hula hoop
Beach volleyball, no shark fin soup!

Soup delicacy thousands of years dined
Hawaii State law the first of its kind
Possession, distribution, trade, or sale
Got shark fin?.. take a year in jail

$5,000 for a first time offender
Multiple offense, $50,000 legal tender
Educational research?..get an exemption
Give a shark a break, a little redemption

Take it off the menu, restaurant Chinese
Use up your stock out of the deep freeze
One year from now, a delicacy no more
Finning's not funny, Hawaii closes the door

Shark fin soup soon a thing of the past
July 1, 2011, Hawaii will see its last
Heinous fishing method?.. that's shark 'finning'
Hawaii joins in to get the ocean back winning
