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
