Big, Big Whale
Swimming in the ocean
Is a big, big whale.
You can tell he’s a whale
By his big, big tail.
He comes to the surface
And he comes frequently,
To breathe in fresh air
And to blow out the sea!
Some whales have teeth
And some whales do not.
Some have baleen
Where the plankton get caught.
Oh, there is no creature
Who’s bigger than the whale
And you better believe me
‘Cause it ain’t no tale!
(Adapted from a poem by Anne Askay)
