JOSIE'S POEMS
Sea-World Poems

WHALES
By Josie Whitehead
Now the whale lives his life
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
And the ruler of the deep.
He has lots of little catnaps,
But he never really sleeps.
Mankind’s his only killer;
Other enemies he’s none.
He loves spyhopping, lobtailing
And having lots of fun.
To him I’m just a midget,
Not a creature of the sea,
But I wrote this poem for him.
Did he write a poem for me?

Note: SPYHOPPING: When spyhopping, the whale rises and holds a vertical position partially out of the water, often exposing its entire rostrum and head.
LOBTAILING: lobtailing is when a whale lifts its fluke (tail fin) out of the water and brings it down forcefully to slap the surface.
