SINKIN' SOON

El pez más grande que existe es el tiburón ballena, Rhincodon typus, (a pesar de su nombre, no es un mamífero). Es un bicho imponente (¡puede medir más de 20 metros!), que habita las cálidas aguas de los mares tropicales (también subtropicales). Su alimentación es sorprendente, dado su tamaño y su aspecto: traga plancton y, como festín extraordinario, algún que otro pececillo o calamar.
Dejo aquí unas preciosas imágenes, acompañando a una canción de Norah Jones, Sinkin' Soon. (Por cierto, ¿qué instrumento es el que se oye por el minuto 2:22? ¿Una trompeta con sordina? ¿Un cazú?)

We're an oyster cracker on the stew,
And the honey
in the tea,
We're the sugar cubes,
one lump or two,
In the black
coffee,
The golden crust on an apple pie,
That shines in the sun at
noon,
We're a wheel of cheese high in the sky,
But we're gonna be
sinkin' soon.
In a boat that's built of sticks and hay,
We drifted from
the shore,
With a captain who's too proud to say,
That he dropped the
oar,
Now a tiny hole has sprung a leak,
In this cheap pontoon,
Now
the hull has started growing weak,
And we're gonna be sinkin' soon.
We're gonna be Sinkin' soon,
We're gonna be Sinkin' soon,
Everybody
hold your breath 'cause,
We're gonna be sinkin' soon
We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon,
We're gonna be Sinkin' soon,
Everybody hold your breath
'cause,
Down and down we go.
Like the oyster cracker on the stew,
The honey in the tea
The sugar cubes,
one lump or two?
No thank
you none for me.
We're the golden crust on an apple pie,
That shines in
the sun at noon,
Like the wheel of cheese high in the sky Well...
we're
gonna be sinkin' soon.
