There's a Shark In My Soup

'THERE'S A SHARK IN MY SOUP!' Not an eyebrow was raised, Not a shudder nor blood-curdling scream. For in Peking you see, it's a delicacy To consume shark fin soup it would seem. But when diners looked round, With his head in a bowl Was renowned Casanova - Wang Yong. And his date said : 'You cheat,! You're a shark on the beat! So it's in that there bowl you belong! 29/12/18 'Shark in my soup' contest : sponsored by Anthony Slausin
