The Submarine Diaries
May 14, 2013
Another day to look for a wonderful whale
I get up from my bed and wipe the fog out of my eyes
I take off my pyjamas and put on my uniform
I should be looking for enemy submarines
But that’s no fun
I walk down the swaying hall
My eyes set straight
I go to my station and put on my headphones
I spend an hour hearing nothing but swishing water
I feel the captain’s hand on my shoulder
as I hear a whale song
I listen to him while I listen to the whales
and I hear we’re going to surface
I run to the deck to see the whales
It’s still wet from the ocean
I slip
I get up
and I see a blue whale
What a day

xD hahaha Amazing :P and very entertainig
Well aren't you easily amused. Thank you ruthie_d3 I hope that isn't your real name because I would have trouble talking to you. Pleasant days, a monkey. Here is another comment on my monkey life. Prepare to be shocked as a hippo is when he sees a butterscotch krimpet. Well, I was dancing with a woman who we'll call Jessica Won't Mess With Ya. We were dancing and I found the cop that was chasing me was related to her. I didn't know what to do when he picked her up. Then I realized that Kevin Bacon was in the dancing house. He was performing his moves from Footloose. Naturally, I decided to outdance him. He didn't stand a chance as I dominated him. After I beat him, I thought he would gift me with bacon, which is what Kevin Bacon does when you beat him. So I bit him. The cop then chased me to the house Bob Saggot lives in and I'm writing this here.
