A whale of a tale,
Dale of the vale.

Your literary allusions are well-thought-on and fit like Lego parts.

But remember this: Ahab died, taking all with him,
while you lived, having slain your behemoth,
and there was no crew to endanger.

I loved your mountain images.
And that one Biotch borrowed shows how imposing the mountain is.

Thanks for the trip!
