The Jellyfish and Me
They threw me off a pirate ship
Into the path of a giant yellow jellyfish.
She had been crying for a bunch of
unsavory fools had thrown her off
another ship
Into the path of rudders that would
not have been kind.
Luckily a wave came along and
saved her.
She was sobbing as she told me
the story; I did not even think she
realized I was hanging on for dear life
I gave her my most interested looks,
hoping she would take mercy on me.
When we reached a whale she gave me a toss.
I landed next to the whale’s mouth.
I thought we were friends! I yelled
right before I was plunged into the whale’s mouth
I never liked humans she said
Then she laughed.
It was a mean, sadistic sound.
The last sound I heard.
