A Shark In My Soup

"Waiter" I cried, "there's a shark in my soup

I saw a fin, somewhere in the gloop

Granted it's tiny, but it has me on edge

And it must be hungry, it's ate all the veg"

Oh my, what a great poem and photo! Very clever, Gary. Those bay leaves can look like fins. Congratulations on your success in Anthony's contest. Best wishes, Carolyn

G'day Gary … so now I gather, the shark is looking for meat on the wrong end of the spoon - thanks Gary - Lindsay

As my husband would say, you have to be desperately hungry to eat veggies. Cute poem, Gary.

That was cool Gary. They'll do anything to get us to eat our vegetables. :)
