Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

The Fish That Wasn'T

Ha, ha! Fooled you. … This one's about a fish.
Well, ... almost, ... not really ... It's about a whale ...

They say a whale's a mammal; if so, I'm a fish
Then again, we Mr. Limpets should take care what we wish

Here's a fact: Cape Cod-type whale watches usually fail
While onlookers consume an ocean of lager and ale

So, remember when speaking of a neo-mammal like a whale
The larger the creature, the longer its tale

Virginia Waters July 5, 2018 at 2:16 AM haha enjoyed this. Just looked at a post on fb where a right whale is poking up right haha in front of our parliament building - called the beehive. ( whale is in the harbour) It just looks like the whale is giving the finger to parliament!! Gershon Wolf July 5, 2018 at 10:39 AM Of course he did, Virginia. He did it on porpoise! ... Thank you for the laugh and for the encouragement. Appreciated. ~ Gershon
