MAMMAL IN THE THAMES
(adapted from 'Candle In The Wind' by Elton John)
BY MARTIN BAUM
Goodbye Moby Dick
Out of breath and out of luck
You swam the Thames and got yourself
Beached and really stuck
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a mammal in the Thames
Never knowing where to swim to
When the tide went out
And I would have liked to know you
But you were just a fish
Who’ll end up as a tasty treat
On someone’s supper dish
END
