Two P s in a Pod

Peter and Penelope
two friends
from the same school.

Pene was
the cute one,
Peter played the fool.

They liked
to go out swimming
or surfing trailing wake.

The ocean
was their playground
in which they d both partake.

But they never paid attention
to words
of caution told,

by others
who had witnessed
the many caught and sold.

Peter and Penelope
were told
of a cool cat.

Charlie
was his name,
with sunglasses and a hat.

Despite repeated
warnings
they liked to run with him.

Wasn t reckless
in his actions
never moving on a whim.

Then came that day
he mentioned,
I think I heard your ma .

See if it was
her calling,
if not tell them Charlie sent ya.

Poor Peter and Penelope
some say
twas act of God.

Got netted
and no longer
Two P s in a pod.
