The sad tale of a dead whale That beached up on the shore Weighing more than 50 tons Disposal would be quite a chore In the name of scientific research And morbid curiosity University biologists in Taiwan Schedule an autopsy The animal's enormous size Proved a challenge to the workers It took three cranes to load the carcass Unto the truck drawing onlookers Because of natural decomposition There was gaseous accumulation And gathering in a small city street The innards of the whale people would meet A blubberbath for all and all A blubberbath now doth call A belly bursting with enthusiasm The explosion left a deep cavern Entrails and blood left for all to see This messy event goes down in history
