Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Play for Keeps

A black eyed squid met an owl fish.
The squid was looking for some lunch,
Its tentacles in twirling swish
Grabbed onto the owlfish a bunch.
The owlfish knew it had a chance,
When first it felt the squid attack,
By sloughing off scales in their dance,
And darting off in a fast track.
But the squid with big eyes and beaks,
Surgically cut the spinal cord
Of the owlfish - its future bleak.
Owlfish - zero, squid - one was scored.

The black eyed squid did have its way.
The owlfish was catch of the day.
