... by observation like fish in a bowl,
others too, share an equal fate that's found
in other kinds, be East to the mid-pole
California's Gulf shallows curb sound.
Vaquitas, small porpoises with large dark
rings around their eyes and dark patches on
their lips. Shore swimmers have created stark
wrath of repeated deaths net tangles done.
In 2015, CBS had placed
their numbers to be less than a hundred.
A new report lists eighteen as its based
end count. Extinction less than ten years, zed.
Spanish named "Little Cow" will be a ghost.
They'd wade at standards to be seen by most.
