Now, the whale lives his lifetime in the deep blue sea
He’s a mammal and he breathes just like you and me.
Some whales are enormous – much bigger than us
And the blue whale’s bigger than a double decker bus.
He travels round the oceans, and he thinks he is a king –
He dives and he leaps and have you heard him sing?
He’s a master of performance – the ruler of the deep –
He has lots of little catnaps, but never really sleeps.
Mankind’s his only killer. Other enemies, there’s none.
He loves spyhopping, lobtailing and having lots of fun.
To him I’m just a midget and don’t swim in the sea -
But I wrote this poem for him. Did he write a poem for me?
