Go for a boat ride
He said
The ocean’s calm
No sharks are near
We paddle bravely
Then I see
A whale
Bigger than the sea
It’s a trick of the light
My friend says
An illusion
We’re safe
He insists
I know this whale is huge
He can tip us into the sea
And devour us
For my friend’s name
Is Jonah
You see
And in the tale
The whale tells is a different one
Then you and me
