Lo and Behold
A subterranean grip
Alas a woman’s mass
Appears in this word trip
She cries for Ahab
To head ashore!
“Give the creature the slip”!
Avast a wide mast
Unfurls across the ship
The Captain’s cries
For the harpoon!
Are drowned out
By the cracked whip
The wondrous size
Of the White Whale
Ascends from the salty drip
The sheer weight of the beast
Causing the schooner
To flip!
The showdown is on
Between Captain Ahab
and Moby Dick
