The Narwhal

In the northern hemisphere narwhals grow With only two teeth you think that’s a poor show But the prominent one grows into a sword Breaking through from this creatures’ upper lip jaw It spirals clockwise up to eight feet This ivory tusk is quite unique In the southern hemisphere it grows the opposite way Counter clockwise biologist state This tusk is a sensor they use for many things Sometimes a contest to win mates of their dreams They use this as a pick to break through the ice This pointed spear will suffice It's a very good weapon to ward of danger In studies it’s also shown as some sort of ranger It can even detect a change in external situation Making checks it can pick up on temperature fluctuation And a chemical analysis this sensor sends waves It’s connected to this mammals heart and brain They can slow it down or make it beat fast This is one awesome creature of the past That lives in the ocean deep and dark A mystical warm blooded whale of the sea A beautiful unicorn, you don’t often see © Copyright KC.Leake 17th September 2015 All Rights Reserved For Competition October 15th 2015
