Ahab's horror would I be,
swimming around for all to see,
harpoon me if you can,
but I'll swallow you down, ship and man.

to the locker far below,
where I will spit out your bones,
in the darkness of the deep,
for all eternity will you sleep.

Though not a fish,
I will have fulfilled my wish,
to swim in the ocean's tides with tail,
I am glad to have become a whale.
