A Whale's Confrontation

 

The sea looks calm but under the waves

A mother whale and calf she tries to save

but too many sharks it's meat they crave

Will she lose the birth of this calf she gave?

 

Up from the deep she forces her way

She's tired and her young grows weary

As sharks move closer, their teeth many

Sink deep into the calf's smooth belly.

 

The mother undaunted and full of rage

swings fiercely her tail as though on a stage

The shark's loosen their bite with no gauge

of the massive whale with her size and age.
