The Body on the Shore ©️

~My feet felt the cold icy water of the calm lake

~But there laid a body that almost looked fake

~I went up to it to take a closer look

~But right through his belly was a large human hook

~I gasped in fear and turned to run away

~But when I looked back at him I decided to stay

~I sat next to the hooked frail man

~”I think I’ll name you Stan.”

~I fixed up his hair and made him a robe

~”I bet no ones got a pet like mine around the globe.”

~I took him to my playhouse, just outside the woods

~Laid him on the cot and baked him some goods

~”You need to eat my dear hungry Stan.”

~For his favorite food I learned was flan

~When I went to turn around and get him a plate

~He smiled in a way that wasn’t so great

~”Stan why are you smiling? Are you excited to eat?”
