Heartbreaking News
A family of whales swam on the beach.
Tasmanians watched twenty-two soon die.
Beside the waters sperm whales found their grave.
How did they find their death, oh, gloomy day?
Some people saw four swim upon the sand.
Few lives were saved; those left must now be sad.
Two mammals swim deep waters, more alone.
