Decolonize the Pequod! - mindless drivel about that stupid whale

Decolonize the Pequod!

Call me E-mail, and, yes, I cheered for the whale -
Is there anyone so hard in his heart
That he cannot shed tears of happiness
When the whale kills the crew? Oh, rapturous day!

They are required reading; it’s all their fault
And, after all, sperm whale and Moby Dick –
Should America’s children read this trash?
I think not. It’s not in the Bible, right?

There's no baptismal image, only a boat
And hey, psycho captain, do wooden legs float?
