Seal the Deal

A seal was caught in an oil spill.
When found, it was barely alive.
A foundation, out of good will,
Gave the seal the care to survive.
A year later and rehab worth
80,000 dollars, the seal
Was fully fixed in its rebirth.
The foundation made a big deal
Of sending the seal back to sea.
Thousands of folks and T.V. news
Watched and clapped as the seal swam free.
Something else came into all views.

The last seen of the seal - its tail,
As it was swallowed by a whale.
