Hey, tell me if I didn't spell levethian right. Either it's not in my Webster's or I've REALLY spelled it wrong. It's not all bad when you go to explore your unconscious. Some of it is really fun. So next is a poem about the fun part.
Ooooh, thumbnail what a leviathan is. Hmmm, I've been pronouncing it wrong too, with -ian at the end. I got to levit but didn't find it. I'll think I'll leave it alone for now.

The standard spelling is "leviathan", but I had to check it out in my dico (I use the Random House Webster and it is *always* on, for me...).
I had to check it out because I would have spelled it לוויתן, which is the modern-Hebrew name for your everyday, mundane whale.
I was quite surprised when I started reading early Mesopotamian fiction and discovered that it was considerably more than just a whale!

So I'm itching to know, Shunra, what is your favorite early mesopotamian fiction? I'm having trouble naming mine.
