The Nuclear Moby Dick by David Fischer
Copyright (C) 1999 David Fischer


Pierced to the core
The reactor begins to bleed
Precious absorbing graphite
Drifts uselessly 
Into the sea
The beast's uranium soul 
Burns brightly
In its death agonies
Its back broken,
The twisted titanium hull
Plunges into the uncharted depths
Dragging down 
The doomed crew
And Captain Ahab,
Still holding tight
To the harpoon
With which he defeated
The Nuclear Moby Dick.
