Six-hundred-thousand-thirteen years ago
A boy was pulled down by the undertow
The people said he drowned, or so they thought
But there was one small detail they forgot

The boy had a friend named Robby Crocree
Who was a blue whale that lived in the sea
He took a deep breath and swallowed him whole
The boy then lived, for Robby saved his soul

He swam for help, he knew this was tragic
So, then he found the Great Eel of Magic
Robby knew all magic comes at a price
But this boy was about to lose his life

He made the request with fear in his breast
But all the eel wanted... A hair from his chest

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
