Minnow Shark Man

...you're so wrong.
I'm far from complicated.
Just a moody little man
who's eaten way too much "living" sand.
In a snap, I go from light to dark
{I'm both the minnow and the shark.}

I'm a simpleton, actually.
I enjoy:
a good meal without the gas.
a quiet hike without e-bikes.
a good debate without the hate.
a roll of the dice without the vice.
a spirited football match without riot.
a pint of chunky monkey, no cavities.
Some sloppy head now and again.

Keep the fake away from my face.
And I'll be a happy little minnow shark man.
