What are Whales Saying?

It was not long ago that Gordon Gleek,
the renowned and gifted science geek,
announced to the world that whales can speak. 
But, on this fine blue blubbery day,
the only thing this whale has to say
is mind your own business bub,
and, furthermore, glub, glub, glub, glub.

I enjoy your poem. What does a whale want to say to us? Well, maybe a lot.

I'm glad you liked it. I wonder what they would want to say. Maybe, not all good! Maybe one day Gordon Gleek will be able to translate their language.
