Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Preventable Cause and Effect

In early twenty twenty three,

Upon a Hawaii beach shore,

A washed ashore dead whale did be,

Necropsy done to find out more.

At sixty tons of weight a whale

Ingests enormous sums of food.

Swallowing on such massive scale,

Some harmful objects can intrude.

In this case, plastic debris stuck

In the whale's intestinal tract.

Food digestion thus ran amok,

And causing death be a sure fact.

Whales washing up on shores to die,

Plastic may be main reason why.
