Juju the Magical Whale
Step aside if you please, Dr. Seuss,
And you as well my dear Mother Goose!
It's my turn to write for little kids a silly tale,
About a magical whale and his little friend, Miss Abigail!
JuJu was his name and he was as big as a whaling ship!
He cruised about the sea with Miss Abigail reclining on his lip!
She enjoyed the view as they dove to the bottom of the sea,
To say "Howdy do!" to Claus Lobster and have a spot o' tea!
JuJu took Miss Abigail for a cruise along the Barbary Coast.
There they saw a pirate ship guarded by a fearsome ghost!
"Never mind," a lovely mermaid said! "If the truth were told,
He'd gladly let you play in his treasure chest filled with gold!"
Alas, poor JuJu fell fast asleep and nigh Bermuda bumped a stone,
Spilling poor Miss Abigail into the sea, leaving her all alone!
JuJu awoke with a startled cry searching for his little friend.
With his magic eyes he spotted her faraway nigh Newfoundland!
With a flip of his magic tail, JuJu could swim hither and yon so free,
Showing Miss Abigail wonderful and mysterious things beneath the sea!
(Miss Abigail awoke from her fun-filled dream to tell her Mom and Dad,
All about Magical JuJu and the whale of a time she'd had!)
