Stone
Mako shark swims sixty miles an hour
That takes a lot of power
Sometimes great white small pebbles will devour
As for prey the oceanic abyss it will scour
Red gums with blistering teeth you will see
On the shark that is lord of the sea
His eyes are lustrous black and deeply eerie
Deeper then abyss of the very sea
Once the stones lord of ocean regurgitated
With stone imbued with power lord accumulated
Steller’s Sea eagle picked it up for this stone bird was avid
And for a while lord of the sky it guarded
Then he dropped it to jaguar’s den
Jaguar with bite force of more than ten
That bite right through caiman’s head can
Lord of jungle played with the stone in his pen
Then
The stone was found by a man
Who has thrown it to a river again
Thinking it could not be worth a live hen
The stone was lustrous grey blue
Its width was Inches two
Its length also just a few
And through what the pebble was no one had a clue
But in that lied stones’ majesty
Inconspicuous not much to see
Yet it could truly
Levitate man beyond destiny
