In the waves, a predator, hiding
Waiting,
Its sharp teeth, eager to bite anything
Stomach on stand by
A little beast, on borrowed time
The whale, camouflaged in the storm, swims nearer
Nearer
The huge mammal, open mouthed
The jaws open, and snap!
Missed!
It’s like a footballer missing an open goal,
It just doesn’t happen!
Swimming closer
And closer
Closer
So close now!
SNAP!
Mmm, tasty
In the waves, a predator, hiding
Stomach on stand by once again.
