Supper at Sea

Snapping it up with so much zeal The shiny black shag with its slinky eel. The sand eel squirmed and slipped back to the sea. The shag said stop, please stay with me! You want to eat me said the edible eel. I do not want to be your meal. I see you swim under the sea At speeds much faster than slithering me. You will swallow me whole. And then where will I be? In my belly, of course, said the shag smilingly!
