Many had been on these waters before, but they were new for him.
Perfectly bobbing up and down, she sang to him like a hymn.
He climbed into the seat with care and booted up the button.
He clicked and scrolled with such great ease, expecting less than nothing.
He sailed her out on waters smooth and tossed his baited line.
He sat back basking in the sun, he had much more than time.
And then somewhere from way down deep, the fish began to rise.
He recognized so many names but who would take the prize?
Looking over the side he saw, a large fish take the bait.
He steadied himself for the fight but he would have to wait.
Her mate was circling far below, she knew not what had hit her.
But hungrier than hungry, she swallowed up the lure.
At first she put up quite a fight not knowing where to swim.
Then suddenly the line went slack, she knew she wanted him.
He pulled, the line came easily, the whole thing such a lark.
What he thought to be a marlin, turned out to be a shark.
He cried out loud in terror as she smiled and gnashed her teeth.
She wanted to devour him, to pull him underneath.
The skies grew dark, the wind picked up, he pushed her over the side.
He hurried to the market, to shop there for his bride.
