Shark Attack!

                   Shark infested, drawn to the fray,
                   circling around blue and grey.
                   Arching backs, stealthy cats can’t wait,
                   fishy prey unaware of fate.
                   Ruffle and shuffle, clicking clicks,
                   the sounding of cards playing tricks.

                   Pristine waters, shimmering clear,
                   the daily meal served up like deer.
                   Little circling schools of ten;
                   relax, teacher will tell you when.
                   No need to fear, have fun today,
                   chip away on the blue and grey-

                   Fishing trollers casting out bait,
                   so patiently, their captains wait.
                   Watching the fray school from above,
                   certain sharks these captains all love.
                   Ruffling and shuffling the net,
                   certain things pros do not forget.

                   Circling frenzy of desire,
                   driving fish into the mire.
                   Sharks feasting late into the night,
                   banding together in the fight.
                   Swirling and whirling in the deep,
                   seeking the harvest they can reap.

                   Waters surge far away from home,
                   flowing fish stories fill a tome.
                   Poker, the feast on which it’s bent,
                   swimming sharks that pick up the scent.
                   Shuffling cards … clicking chips call,
                   smart sharks scenting scared fish to maul.
