CHARLIE CHIMP AND SHIRLEY SHRIMP

Charlie was the name of this likeable chimp
Had an addiction to the eating of shrimp 
Two bowls a day for Charlie did arrive 
All courtesy of the pleasant zookeeper Clive

Shirley the shrimp lived in a bright blue sea
Happy with her life so young and carefree 
This came to an end one summer's day 
A fisherman's net Shirley got in the way 

Poor Shirley was dazed and confused too
How did she end up in Charlie's zoo ?
Charlie didn't care Shirley was in his bowl
No time for pity and no time to console

How did this poem end I'll let you decide
Did Shirley escape or finish in Charlie's inside ?

Love this, so light but gives a message. I think I like how you used personification for the characters, it's very engaging. Kind regards. The Fish of the Sea
