Her Pet Gore

She struts along the bottom of the ocean floor
Taking her pet for a walk, his name is Gore.
Other fishes and kelp scurry out of the way.
They are not fooled by Gore, he does not play.

It’s a shark! A merman says with a smile too wide.
Find an underground cavern and try to hide!
He won’t eat you until she goes to sleep….
Calls a squid who knows from the depths of the deep.
