Tuna for Tea

Tuna for Tea

A Poem by Debbie Barry
"

Just a scrap of nonsense. Intended to be a new nursery rhyme.

"

A shiny silver tuna

Swam merrily in the sea;

A sleek,  black seal swam up and said,

“I'll have you today for tea.”

Author's Note

Debbie Barry
Just a scrap of nonsense that popped into my head when I couldn't sleep. It's meant to feel like a traditional nursery rhyme. Initial reactions and constructive criticism welcome.

Analogous to Hannibal Lecter having you for lunch--not exactly a prized prospect.
Great bit of fun!
