THE LADY LOBSTER AND THE SHARK

The Lady Lobster loved the Shark
That swan in the dark blue sea,
But she had TO keep It so dreadfully dark
That her lover was hankering, cankerug cark
For the Shark didn't care for she
The Lady Lobster languid lay
In the rockweed's deepest gloom
And she wept, for she felt herself pining away
In her fresh young chickensh glad heyday
And the flush Of her early bloom.
Her shell was bright and beautiful blue
And her eyes were a beautiful pink
And her claws we're an exquisite lavender hua
And OF antennB she'd thlrty-two-
No commonplace charms, think.
The Eels and the Dogflsh sued in vain
And the Jellyfsh worshiped afar,
And the Sturgeon woed her again and again.
And the Bass and the Tomcod swelled her train,
And she was the dream Of a Gar
But the Lady Lobster in her lagoon
She sighed for her darling Shark
By light of sun, and llght OF moon,
And from morn till eye, and from night till noon
And from daylight until dark.
One day venturesome skipper came
A-sailing along the sea,
And he thirsted for great piscatorlal fame,
So he baited hook for very big game
And he heaved 1t merree.
The Shark was taking lazy swim
That thriced accursed day
When the Lady Lobster remarked to him,
AS she wagged her lavender claw so slim
In herowu ladylobsterlike way;
"a constitutional, suppose
Do you keep your old relish for foodi
trust you are free from dyspeptic woes
II a thing gets down do you find that it gcesf
Is your appetite always goodY"
The Shark he Topped his dorsal fin
And he smiled expansiveee,
so long as my mouth can take 1t In,
From chair to a bather's reluctant shin,
It's sure to be good" said he
Just then the shippers auring line
Came dangling down by his chin,
And the Shark proceeded to turn supine
(Although twas little too early to dine)
In order to gather 1t In.
But the watchful, quick, pink eye of love
In the Lady Lobster saw
AS the slender line swung down from above.
That the skipper's bait would dangerous prove
To her darling's dear old NAV.
In the fash of a fin she had made up her mind
How to meet the emergencee
And her pink eyes closed for love Is blind)
And all her autenn@ she swiftly entwined
Lest they should tickle he
One glance of love she ventured TO cast
And she blushed deeper blue;
And then as swift as the winters blast
She sprang down that mouth SO vast
And upward the bubbles flew
Those jaws closed up with cruel crunch,
And the hook swept harmless by;
And the Shark gave gentle MUNICH
And he felt himself comforted by his lunch
For Love had dared to diei
She had won the right to be with him
At morn and noon and night;
And since she had made SO free with him,
She did her best to agree with him,
And TO keep his digestion right
The Lady Lobster quiet lies,
The Shark he swims the bay
Ye naiads, cease your wailing cries
fe mermaids, dry your streaming eyesi
Love will find out a way.
Sweet hearti
Love will get there some day.
