Night Swim

                                                                  Once upon 
                                                                      an ocean there 
                                                                          was Mark, who 
                                                                             dreamed of befriending a shark.
                                                                     One night just for a jolly lark, he swam deep 
            into                                             the dark. So, on his watery trek he did embark
               In a sunken                    clipper ship dwelt Clark. Searching for food in a sea 
                    that seemed so cold, empty and very  stark. Cold and hungry, Clark the
                      great white hungry and a little bit grumpy shark  met  tiered wet and 
                  fatigued                         Mark. Who in the end he had to remark: that 
                Clark’s                                                        bite was worse 
                                                                                    than his 
                                                                                 bark

AMAZING concrete, Robb. I don't know how you did it, but this is quite a challenging image to create and you truly succeeded!! Big round of applause. Love, Carolyn
