SEA-CAKE

I was burning 
my candle at both ends
When up came 
a man-eating shark,
He ate what was left 
of my middle
And now my life's 
lived in the dark

So I'm writing 
this rhyme in his belly
And rapidly 
turning to drink,
It's damp and it's 
rotten and smelly
And I'm right on the 
edge of the brink.

If you happen 
to come by a bottle
That is floating 
adrift in the sea,
Then look deep down inside 
at the turn of the tide
'Cos you might 
find a message from me.
