IS A SPERM LIKE A WHALE? WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Shall I compare thee to a sperm whale, sperm? Thou art more tiny and more resolute: Rough tides may sway a sea-bound endotherm, But naught diverts thy uterine commute. Sometime too fierce the eye of squid may glint And make a stout cetacean hunter quail; Methinks ’twould take much more than bilious squint To shake thee off the cunning ovum’s trail. Yet still thou art not so unlike, thou two, Both coursing through a dark uncharted brine While fore and aft there swims thy fellow crew; And note this echo, little gamete mine: As whales spray salty water from their spout, So with a salty spray dost thou come out.
