Porpoise

This little tubby cousin 
Of the dolphins has no beak.

He’s very shy and talks, 
Not with a click, but with a sneezy squeak!

Delightful and fun to read! I love both porpoises and dolphins and the sounds both make always give me a laugh. Great poem! Love, Carolyn

They are quite different. I've never seen one alive but in pictures and on tv. Have seen the dolphins up close and personal. Nicely written. Keep writing. Sara
