Knot Mine - Part 16 - The Crab Spy

The lead shark named Otto,
Had one simple truth,
A word and a motto,
This was hard to believe,
"Never leave a meal unfinished!
The water he couldn't leave,
So a spy he would send in the form of a crab,
He picked one right up and his nose it tried to grab,
"Don't bother or be eaten! Otto said nice,
"What do you want Otto? The crab snapped at spice,
"Follow those sea urchins, the ones I want to devour!
"Till when shall I follow them?
"Before they get very sour!
"And why should I do this job just for you?
"I've kidnapped your family¦
"This day you will rue.
"Just bring me the urchins and they will be fine.
"Name your day, minute and time.
"Now¦ The shark said in rhyme.
