Free Shamu

I wouldn’t have known about this if Patrick hadn’t alerted me a few days ago. (He also pointed out this item about the sea parks immediately raising their ticket prices, because “Who doesn’t secretly wish for the whales to attack someone else?”)

You may have already known about the whole killer whale problem, but perhaps you haven’t heard how it was resolved.

    patrick, or other writer-type bloggies, do you think you could compose an “ode” to the shamus? don’t you believe, as do i, that it is very necessary?

  2. robin Says:

    Oo, Annette, excellent idea. I’m more of a prose writer than a poet myself, although I can do limericks.

    Anyone want to take a stab at it?

    Shamu, Shamu . . .

    (Take it from there.)

    A Haiku.

    Autumn in Seaworld
    Black and white the killer whale
    Shamu eats a trainer

    Patrick, that’s beautiful.

    wow patrick–i’m a little teary.

    a limmerick by annette

    there was a young whale from the sea
    who wished again to be free
    she drowned her poor trainer
    it seemed a no-brainer
    but alas turned her in to sushi

    Annette, I had no idea how talented you are. You’ve been holding out on us.

  7. Patrick Says:

    Annette, that’s beautiful. Can I put it over a picture of Shamu and frame it?

  8. annette Says:

    no patrick–i’m sorry, but its copyrighted.
