New Poetry Contest: How Unexpected!

My Trip to the Aquarium
Once one time we took a trip to the aquarium.
I put on my shark disguise, hoping to a-scare-e-’em.
But soon as I stepped in, I knew my plan had sank.
’cause soon as I stepped in, they put me in a tank!
I really tried to tell them that I wasn’t a shark,
but they still put me in, and it got cold and dark.
I looked to my left to see who my neighbor might be.
A great white shark with rows and rows and rows of pointy teeth!
Chomp! Down I went through this dark and scary hole.
Then I realized that I’d been standing in his food bowl.
So it went wrong, my master plan to a-scare-e-’em,
but with an x-ray you can visit me in the aquarium!
