Shrimp and Whale

On seashore, playing among waves,
There lived big Whale and pretty Shrimp.
They met among dawn golden rays
And spend time together until sunset.

Whale was fast and amazingly strong,
He swam in waves with incredible power.
Shrimp dived into depths of sea
And in dancing under water she was irresistible.

One day Whale swam to Shrimp
And he couldn't hide his excitement:
"Beloved Shrimp, I want to give you
My love, and swim into infinity with you!"

Shrimp smiled and replied:
"You, Whale, the great symbol of freedom,
We are different, but we can swim together,
And find each other in arms of water!"

So they became perfect couple,
Two creatures in the water,
Shrimp and Whale, swimming together,
They found their love in the sea.

They swam side by side on blue water,
They shared their happiness and tenderness.
Friendship and love warmed their hearts,
And together they were happy.

This continued until they met the second Whale,
And you can't guess what started from that moment.
Then they met two new Shrimps,
And no filmmaker could reflect all subsequent events.

In the morning they all woke up
And silently spread out in different directions.
