'A Tail of a Shark'

"Once a 3 foot earthenware shark, its short life was traumatic, it fell and broke into many parts. it became but a thumbled profusion ressembling a fishes tail. Colours flickered from one to another as emulsion paint was once spilled all over this tail, but still it could not replicate the trauma's its real relatives suffer at our hands" 
.
"I always felt I had not cast the shape of the sharks head at all with any correct proportions to any shark known. This was only solved when an hammer was taken to this not so shark. Somehow this changed the whole story of the sharks tone to one of exploitation, seeming more appropriate to the things that happen to sharks, fish, mammals in the wild for scientific research, soup or just pure sports".
