La Tour Des Baleines
In Misses Halliday’s community,
A lighthouse steadily illuminates
That coastal location. Containerships
Can safely navigate. Supertankers
Can avoid incidents. Superliners
Can protect passengers unfailingly.
This noble edifice, designated,
(From francais translated): “Tower-Of-Whales”.
