Danny the Dolphin
Danny the dolphin loved his next of kin,
swimming in pods out in the big ocean,
sensing danger he'd be the first to respond,
helping humans to safety creating a special bond,
Noticing that humans were polluting the oceans,
one big ocean ring of litter was just a portion,
sick and tired of seeing all the dying sea life,
he decided he wanted to help out and do what was right,
So he started to eat and swallow the mostly plastic litter,
the plastic bottles being as hard to chew as a fiddle,
his family clearly telling him he would end up dying,
Danny knew the score and told them please stop prying,
Eventually the fishermen and boatmen caught on,
seeing Danny out at sea eating and floating along,
feeling that they had to help with the plastic clean up,
they brought their nets and helped Danny out,
The ocean was now as it was before there were plastic bottles,
thanks to Danny and his friends sacrifice which was colossal,
saving a lot of sea life making the ocean pristine and delightful,
human beings finally catching on by concientous recycling.
