I Am A Whale

Swimming free,
Under the sea,
Lovely bunch of krill to eat,
Down and down I go,
To fetch my food,
Yummmmmm,
What yummy krill.
I need some air now so I will go up,
Up and up I go,
Finally I get to the fresh air,
Oh the lovely air.
STAP
Something has gone into me,
Like a huge needle,
I feel my heart beat, go slow,
I start moving by a great force,
I feel weak and defenseless.
I am boarding some kind of craft now,
I feel a sharp pain, as these Martians,
Take out a spear like thing,
I lay there motionless,
From the tip of my tail to the point of my mouth,
I feel excruciating pain,
It is getting darker and darker,
Then everything seems blank from then on out,
I slipped into total nothingness,
What a terrible death.
