Phew!
Where maybe a rock never was before
was something upon which I broke my oar
this mound arising without warning from
the depths of the sea
but if not a rock what else could it be?
yet this strange encounter was to bring me pleasurable gain
a wondrous happening unlikely to ever happen again
like a huge dappled mountain through the surface rose
I feared my life was about to close!
with that very thought in mind I must have turned pale
until I discovered it was just a Whale
just a Whale! you say, did terror not inflict your heart with its mark?
not at all said I, having enjoyed the short lived company of a Basking Shark!

Grace, I had wondered about the title while I was reading it the other day. Thank you for clearing my doubt. Now it makes more sense. But I believe sharks are dangerous too. It all somehow makes me frightened to go for a sea diving session some day.😰
Do sharks usually attack the divers or just mind their own swim?
