Seafood

I ordered seafood pasta

I thought would be delish

Full of anticipation

For my favourite dish

🦐

The waiter brought it over

Spaghetti on a plate

Steaming hot, delicious

With mussels, prawns and … wait!

🦐

What is that tentacle doing

Across my evening meal?

It’s huge and IT IS MOVING

Please tell me it’s not real!

🦐

Unphased, my husband asked me

If I intended to eat it

No chance, no way, you have it -

I don’t want a single bit!

🦐

The next time I had pasta

I chose another vibe

I will not risk the seafood

Just in case it’s still alive!
