Castaway on the Jello Ocean

One day I invented a jello machine

That turned water to jello and blue into green

Would you think me insane

I brought it on a plane

That traversed the ocean

What a foolish notion!

It fell like a stone

But no need to moan

Because the ocean turned to jello

Oh yes, a zillion square miles of jello

Like walking on one big water bed

An entire habitat soon would be dead

A vast green trampoline

The whales I’d seen

Must have thought me so mean

Frozen below

Their eyes still glow

And flick with confusion to and fro

Death to all fish, clam, shrimp, and shark

My fate would be just as horribly stark

No boat in sight

Then night, a light!

But no…

Just a school of jellyfish shimmering white

Like Moses, I travel for so many days

How to cook jello, there’s so many ways

The sun beats down

And one fish found

With a side of jello, a gooey mound

Forever I’ll stay, grow old and wizen

Wandering toward the wiggly jiggly horizon
