Star Struck

And here me thought
starfish were cute,
as portrayed by Disney.

Hereafter, children,
believe nothing Hollywood pushes,
whether Bambi, Snow White or her Seven Freaks.

Let me give you the low down, dearies.
Starfish are the monsters,
of whom Mother warned.

Worst than any wolf of any tail
(of the Little Red Virginhood tale)
is the dreadful starfish,

who with exquisite tenacity and built-in hydraulics,
grip and crush unsuspecting shell fish,
to ply them open and protrude into their innards,

the ever ravaging, starfish belly.
The rest is sucking,
pleasure and relish.

Sushi or not,
life is always a killer,
and rarely plays nice.
