A Bear sat on an ice cube
in the chilly northern sea,
catching fish with his toenails
and having them for tea.
He ate a raft of tuna,
some salmon
and a shark,
then up-anchored his ice cube
and made it home by dark.


-------OR--------

Because I could not jump the shark
The shark came out for me
Describing one gray-silver arc.
Another. And then three.

He grabbed his tail, quite Escherine,
And rolled back to the sea
Shark donut dunked into the brine
For all Eternity.
