Grouper Groper

GROUPER GROPER My god is this ocean getting crowded or what? Time was I could swim here for days and spot Not even another Goliath Grouper Now I can’t even see - it’s like fog - a pea-souper Because of all these pesky tiny fish. Do they have no homes to go to? I wish ! It’s me or them - so I’ll have to attack I might get a few but it won’t scare off the whole pack. But oh oh, who’s this guy I see with the camera? Looks like some semi-aquatic chimera Man he’s sexy - check those flippers - woweee! And the single big glassy eye - Oh god, he reminds me of me! Think I’m falling in love. Better switch to my camera-smile. This down-frown mouth probably ain’t his style. He’s no Grouper - but he’s the best I’ve seen in a while , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Written for Carolyn Devonshire's Contest "Attack!"

LOL Your whole take on the photo cracked me up, Syd. "Man he's sexy...And the single big glassy eye." Very funny, Syd. The competition was amazing and I judged blindly so I was delighted to see you on the winners' list. Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn
