Allegorically Speaking

King Kong vs Moby Dick would make a good flick
King of the jungle vs. King of the sea
How exciting that would be
Moby swimming to that island 
King Kong diving into the sea
Turns out it was all just an allegory
All made up by, You guessed it
Jada Pinket Smith
Oh what a story that was

Poor King Kong end was in sight because gorillas fear water and can't swim. They have no body fat only muscle which make them go straight down, therefore, a really great allegory referring to certain death. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K
