A Great grand son
of Captain Ahab am I,
searching the watery sea.
Why hide yourself from me?
With the sun sparkling on the waves,
the only sound I hear,
are my shipping oars against the water.
Waiting for old Moby’s off-spring
to resurface and to breathe.
As I sail a little closer
There is no mistaking –
the largest I ever seen.
He opens one eye
as I am about to spear him
and tosses me in the sea.
