The Beautiful Dolphin
Beautiful mammals just like you and I,
Dolphins are warm blooded and smart-
Only see in shades of grey in each eye,
but are just as sensitive in the heart.
Friendliness and compassion play a part.
Sleek and smooth rubber covering skin,
and some can even live up to fifty years-
Each Dolphin holds delicate grace within,
and can even cry salty sorrowful tears.
Even Dolphins have dreams and fears.
They can dive up to one thousand feet,
and there are forty different species around-
Dolphins are competitive when they compete,
showing off their mighty skills abound.
They love to flaunt their talents, I have found.
Killer Whales are from the Dolphin family,
despite their name, they are of the kindred kind-
Sharing the same old lineage and ancestry,
both are elegance and kindness combined.
Such intelligent mammals are so hard to find.
On my honeymoon I rode a Dolphin named Jenny,
she was speedily fast, confident and brave-
Stunning creatures like her, not very many,
that is why we should strive to save
the Dolphins in the world that are used as slaves.
Never doubt the love Dolphins hold inside,
for they are a symbol of strength personified.
