The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away.
When it called out with it mighty yell,
I hit it with a tray.
And so it was that later,
When he hit with his tail,
That the blow that should have killed me,
Hit my Godly Plate of Whale.

Life is a lot like getting mugged; you get your kicks, you take your punches, and when it's over, someone else gets your cash.
