Sir Robert Perellopsimus Lobster

Robert P. Lobster had only one claw
It caused him to swim with a very bad yaw
An oyster twin
Joined him in sin
Together they yelled out, "YEEHAW!

Round and round went Bob and the twin
Ignoring the ominous fin
On some big guy
Swimming nearby
Who had a huge mouth, but no chin

Into said mouth went the entangled pair
Unaware, as they were, of their error
A major distraction
And a fatal attraction
Could one assume they just didn't care?

Hi John, This is a fascinating tale you told in the limerick form. Didn't they know to beware of sharks? Well done:-) Alexis

I am getting hungry too. I love sea food, perhaps I was the shark. A very good lesson; be careful who you dance with or try to eat. Something always bigger comes along.
