A Whale of a Poem

O blue whale, so large and so blue,

How do you fit in the sea?

Your tail must be huge,

And your blowhole must spew,

A mighty great stream of spray.

I wonder if you can sing,

Or if your voice is just a low moan,

Like a foghorn in the night,

Or a whale song in flight,

That only other whales can hear.

You are the largest of all creatures,

A gentle giant of the deep,

A creature of mystery,

Whose home is the ocean's mystery,

And whose life is a mystery to me.

But I am glad you are here,

O blue whale, so large and so blue,

A reminder that there is still beauty

In this world of ours,

Even in the darkest of seas.
