There's a shark swimming in the soup quietly circling and lurking Hiding behind mean metaphors and toothy snide similes He's poised, ready to strike and feast on the unwary Ripping off the heads of anyone muddying his waters 12/24/18 Contest Sponsor Anthony Slausin

I've heard shark fin soup is a delicacy, but I want nothing to do with them. You've created verses that appropriately fit the site and the contest. It's swimmingly well done!
