Frightening
Doggerel
Whale of a
Fear: phallainophobia
Don had a
thorough fear of whales,
But
fearful that the local jails
Would
house his wayward son,
Don, Sr.
quickly thought of one
Solution:
yes, a whaling trip
Aboard
that mighty whaling ship,
The Pequod—yes, that famous boat
With
Captain Ahab. All she wrote.
For
Moby-Dick again arose
And
brought the Pequod to its close.
And
Ishmael, floating in the tide,
Saw Don as
he slipped right inside
The whale.
And there, poor Don could see
Old Jonah
was preparing tea.
“So
welcome, Don,” old Jonah said.
“It’s not
that bad here—being dead.
And do you
like your tea with cream?”
And wondered
Don, “Is this a dream.”
Nope.
