Critterature: Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made Of

The narwhal, so some people say, Is the unicorn of the ocean, And when he does what narwhals do, He's poetry in motion. His "tooth", an ivory swordlike tusk, Is unique and rather spiffy, Although it has a tendency To make his love life "iffy". The bigger ones are thought to be More sexually prolific, But that's the stuff of fantasy, So let's not get more specific. Norbert Narwhal's girlfriend says That even though she's flattered, She likes him for his intellect, His size has never mattered.

Enjoyed another installment of Critterature. Fun to read a poem about such a unique creature. I though the tusk was for fishy oeur d'oeuvres.

Thanks, David, and you may be right about that peculiar appendage. Probably good for kabobs, as well.
