When I ordered fish soup I hadn't a clue That a predator lurked within the brew I was ready to taste it so I dipped my spoon in But rising from the bowl was a dorsal fin! I took up a fork to spear this fish Which was swimming around making my soup swish The waiter came over to see what was wrong I said "there's a shark in my soup, he doesn't belong" The waiter decided to take the bowl back I told him to bring something that didn't attack The waiter returned and granted my wish And brought me a bowl filled with goldfish! - 12-28-18 Shark in the Soup Contest Sponsor..
