Wonderful Whales
We really, truly wish
You wouldnt call us fish,
For we like to do
Some things just like you.
We breathe air through holes on top of our heads.
We take our naps in watery beds.
We keep our babies close, you know,
To drink our milk, so big theyll grow.
We sing and call across the sea,
So friends will come and play so free.
We jump, and twist, and smack our tails.
Please keep us safe! Were your friends the whales!
