I'M a Happy Whale

I'm A Happy Whale I am a whale keeper of the sea so mighty and huge I swim to great lengths from the arctic sea to Hawaii in the winter ... I put on a show The greatest show on earth that's not man choreographed as tourist flock for a peek from tour boats and land cameras in hand, no doubt to take keepsakes and treasures of me, of me to take back to their love ones or to frame in their memories, in albums and on walls of me, of me I don't want to disappoint I don't want to disappoint first I pay homage, though to the land the koolau mountains flanking in the distance and to white sand beaches nestled with palm trees as a cool island wind breezes over the glistening blue and white I blink, I blink at paradise, at paradise and at a seagull circling above blinking back at me I get ready, I see my cue, in the distance, I see hundreds of tourist most of which are clad in Aloha print waving at me the stage is set I dive to the deepest depths of the sea, along with my pod gathering up speed, like a submarine then breaching the surface slapping the water with our fins and tails dancing, dancing in winter sun I blink, I blink at the many tourist smiling cameras in hand no doubt, taking word of mouth to spread I pause, I pause I let out a bigger spout of water from my blow hole I see more smiles, especially of the babies this is paradise, from the smiles, to land and sea I am happy whale connie pachecho 2/2/17
