Swallowed by a Whale

A man was swallowed by a whale

And lived to tell this humpback tale.

While lobster fishing, suddenly,

Below the waters of the sea,

 

He felt a bump then all went dark.

In fear, he thought it was a shark.

Not feeling pain, which sure was good,

He was confused, then understood

 

He’d somehow gotten swallowed whole

By some huge whale out on patrol

To catch himself a seafood meal;

He luckily did not appeal.

 

For after 30 seconds passed,

The whale spit out a giant blast

Of what he knew did not belong;

The fisherman just tasted wrong.

 

His buddy pulled him on the boat;

A happy ending, I will note.

Not many do survive, unhurt,

Rejected as a whale’s dessert.
