Sperm Whale

Creature of deep seas
Battle scars from giant squid
A rare appearance
Stay well hidden from whalers
Inspiration of Melville.

Premium Member Rams' Horns and Squids

   Rams have two horns 
     on top of their head

   the better to butt you
     and leave you for dead

   which is why you should never
     cross a ram ever

   unless you’re a giant squid
     or a large bull from Madrid

A Continuation of ‘on the Vanity of Earthly Greatness'

The Bengal is dead, a corpse in the ground,
The do-do bird is without sound.
The tribes of Indians, won’t see another day,
The ash from the volcano, has long been blown away.
We have seen the death, of the giant squid,
And many evils stole, the paintings of Madrid.
Why is it that we must destroy?
Maybe someday, morals we will employ.

Premium Member I Choose Something Fun To Kill Me

Many things could kill you.
Car wrecks, fall from a roof, electrocution,
starvation, heart attack, brain cancer, Alzheimer’s.
I shall choose something fun to kill me.
Walking the plank, shoot out at the OK corral,
boomerang rebound, King Kong, a cephalopod attack
I dream of watching a giant squid pull me away
With his enormous suction cups,
his tentacles and giant arms making the victory sign.
It is a memorable death, making a terrific obituary story.
