The Shark House was originally created on the anniversary of the dropping of the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, and speaks to themes of nuclear power and disarmament, censorship of artwork, and surrealism. It was put up without planning permission (zoning permission) intentionally, and sparked a legal battle that went all the way to the national government of the United Kingdom in order for it to be allowed to remain. It has since become a landmark and a symbol of defiance and fun in the Oxford area.

This is a poem created by ChatGPT, about the shark house, as part of a series of poems to test the capability of the current publicly available neural networks to generate content of this kind. I hope you enjoy the series.
