song of the sea: book one

Chapter Eighteen: Pop, Pop, Shock:

   I stayed as still as I could, knowing that the movement would only make things worse. I knew that  I had to get out of this water, and fast.

   But the only thing that was truly getting on my ever lasting nerves was these darn sharks. They almost had the nature of a leech. And they also acted like they were part of an army.

   Against me.

   And even though I was being shocked by electric eel, I tried to sing my way through the pain, you know, that's just how crazy I am.

   Now I was in the frenzy. I was now a shark. And so I sang my heart out.

   "Pop goes the eels, I say,

   Things are going to start going my way,

   And in the end, I,

   Will be out of the sea, in the sky,

   I will now teach you wildlife,

   Not to mess with me, a human who is just trying to survive,

   For I will cause you more than fright,

   Because this lone survivor knows how to put up a fight,

   In this sea,

   I want to be,

   The writer of my own destiny,

   The seer of my own prophecies,

   I will never let go of the growing thoughts,

   That I have running though my mind,

   I may talk the talk, but I also walk the walk,

  And there is also the fact that I have an eye,

   Of catching every little detail,

   I have the gift of figuring things out,

   And I also have an act of, oh, a whale,

   What is it doing flailing all around,

   Anywhere I look,

   I only have a few hours before I am off the hook,

   And I will be on my way home, understood,

   That I will be on the greener side, on the right foot,

   Ouch! You darn, stupid eels,

   I go pop, pop, shock,

   On you all, now stop frying my heels,

   Or else I will put you in a headlock,

   Because I have almost reached the brink,

   I almost have you where I want you,

   Because in three, two, one, I think,

   You will get the shock of your lives, boom,

   Goes the dynamite,

   Pop! It's going to go down tonight,

   You will taste the fury I gave the sharks, that not so Great White,

   Went down, it was a war, I won that battle, and now it is time to fight,

   Pop, pop, shock,

   Pop,pop, shock,

   I think that I will make eel tail sashimi,

   Because I know how to make it,

   And I have a friend from Japan, who happened to teach me,
