Matthew & the Shark Tank

Everyone was surprised when Matthew jumped into the shark tank
but you don't understand,

The sharks
had been calling
asking for help.

For months
Matthew heard them,

when he went to the aquarium
when he was at home
when he was with his family

The sharks were so loud
and begging.

They swore
“We only need your help
we would never dare eat you alive.”

And he trusted them
knowing,
what we all know.

These sharks will lie.
The moment he jumped in
they went about
ripping him limb from limb

while saying
“Thank you for all the help Matthew
we're glad you finally came home”
