You know it's bad
When being eaten by a big
fish
Is a good thing.
Sinking deeper than deep
Closing in around me,
Sea-weed wrapped
For a long salt-water nap,
Sands at the ocean's floor
Threaten to tuck me in bed,
Death's door, looking for
more.
Then God sent a great fish
To swallow me whole,
Razor teeth a welcome sight,
Such a tongue, my delight,
Gut sucked without a fight,
and
Into the belly for at least
a night.
Not much too see or do, but
pray
With digestive juices on
the way,
Aspiring to be the next
vomit load
Instead of from the other
end.
It's amazing what you will
do
When it's about to be
the end
of you.
Ok, I'll go to Nineveh.
