Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Take Out

Yes, happy as a clam can be,
Living way up north and way deep
In the Arctic Sea, that was me.
Of course, I knew I could not keep
Those homo sapien butt ins
From eventually finding out
That here I lived through thicks and thins
For 400 years thereabout.
But, the day came they got a hold
Of me, and of course right away,
Cut me up, and saw I was old.
But, my oldness stopped that done day.

Time was against me - enough said
Mankind unkind, and now I'm dead.
