tall Tales

The Meat Locker 

The largest ice freezer of free-range Texan 
long-horns where mice wore fur to survive
broke down, the carcasses began rotting
thrown into the bay.
The day after, sharks came to the surface
throwing up, turning the water foamy 
For anglers, it was a bonus they caught 
big marlins and red snappers
