The Voyage

What whales belly did Jonah sit
Or was it his insipid wit?
Perhaps he was caustic endowed
Or perhaps a might too proud

One must walk between the pillars
Or the identity fools the tiller
Amusing will not always flank
It often makes you walk the plank

So be ye hearty me hearty
But do not sail the ship of party.
Use your time and your mind
Seek you well and you shall find

The glories of a brand new day
The crystal dew that shows the way
The effervescence of your sense
Flense the blubber and condense.

Use the oil to light the bend
It will serve you till the end.

And the parties sound so fun, don't though!
Jonah may have been proud, but I think more scared doubtful maybe...
