Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Shark In the Soup

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!
