It was after a divorce
Bert the Seahorse was taking an
Open Source Correspondence course
On Seahorses potential for manufacturing
Rose quartz
There he met Elena
So different, so fresh
She could intertwine her tail like an acrobat
She swam through sharp coral reefs without a
Hard hat
Her eyes were crystalline
Her skin taught over her fragile bones
Bert invited her for a shrimp salad course
He awaited the UberEats delivery
And waited
Said a water pump in a fish tank sucked him
And banged him against the head of a fake deep sea diver
The shrimp salad was
Butchered
Elena wanted to leave
But Burt wanted to show his Seahorsehood to his date
So he threw the yellow delivery fish into
A caged box
A timed punishment without a tip
And a negative comment on the App
Would it save the courtship?
Would it crumble in a blip?
Could Elena find another shrimp to suck up?
Would Burt find some fresh grub?
And the yellow fish
The yellow fish
He's be better off making subway sandwiches
In a sub.
