the Shrimp Fight Back

Shrimp Fight Back

40

Sam Adams and friends
Were enjoying a shrimp feast
Watching the live shrimp
Being roasted

Waiting to enjoy eating them
enjoying the perfume
of freshly roasted shrimp.

The head shrimp busted out of the pot
demonstrating unusual prowess
Soon thousands of shrimp
Were everywhere

The head shrimp spoke up

“Humans,
What gives you the right
To kill us
To eat us
To burn us alive.

Perhaps we should kill you
Tear you apart
And eat you?

Would you like that
You human scumbags?”

The shrimp surrounded the humans
Swarming all over them
Killing them

Burning them
As they overturn
The flaming pots.

Biting them
Smothering them
In hot sauce
As they eat them.

Screaming,

“Death to all humans”

The head shrimp finally said

“Time to go, We are so out of here
The shrimps ran back
into the shrimp farm waters.”
