Discovering a Pet In My Soup
I could barely sit through the rest of the meal,
could not wait to get home, and pull out my find.
You see I had seen his gill slits as he dashed under the creole
It was a dwarf lanternshark, a particular favorite of mine.
The date was not going all that well anyway,
There would be no follow up calls to this man with a bray.
My attention was now on my soup, and the replaceable teeth
of this darling little lanternshark, that I saw diving down deep.
I stopped moving my spoon, and took the rest of my meal to go,
could barely wait to get out, away from this blow hard I did not know
I had never before found a lantern shark in my soup.
I stopped on the way home to buy him a lantern sharp coup.
