there’s a whale in the sky
blocking the suns of joon
and pale people from the moon
sharpening a big harpoon
the whale’s shadow sighs
over the fairy floss plains
fountaining dead candy canes
through gravity shields and drains
none on the moon remember
why there’s such dread for the whale
why they persist to regale
each other with horror tales
the whale howls frantically
troubles sky with fluke and flick
but moon folk have judged too quick
got the wrong end of the stick
if only they’d understand
its song of despair and love
warning them of doom above
the coming killer space dove

I love this. I’ve reread it several times this morning, and the language just tumbled out in fun and in a warning. Wonderful poem!
