Wendy Watson Poet Rhyme

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!
