The Anemone
There was an anonymous anemone
Who was quite an anomaly
She saw a sea cucumber feed
And disagreed with her spongy enemy,
The anemone ate the cucumber
But it was indigestible to her
And the hollow gurkin
Would not stop twerking
Around in her gastrovascular cavity
It was a deep-sea depravity
Forming a slimy pickled enema
Through our anomalous anemone
Poor dear, let’s respect her anonymity.
