Whales
by Mr. Unknown
One of countless attractions
On the coast of B.C
Is an extremely unique creature
Monarchs of the sea
The most well known and respected
With black and white tones
Orcas travel in pods
Whip out your cameras and phones
The great humpback
Leaves a feeling of awe
That white patterned belly
That low calling song
Playful and smart
Shiny and gray
Dolphins follow your boat
Staying behind in the wake
Take a trip further and deeper
To meet the king of the giants
The massive blue whale
The biggest creature confirmed by science
Whales are almost a fantasy
How the rise and they fall
The fin breaking the surface
The rest follows tall
Whales call to each other
For miles on end
Singing a loud low note
To communicate with a friend
To keep this species alive
May stand a tall order
The numbers have declined
We must give population a border
The wrongdoing is not ours
Our ancestors take the blame
Whale blubber provided lamp oil
Along with soap
This made a great pain
With one dreaded harpoon
An animal life ended for fame
We still marvel
We still look
Over splashing salty water
Our breath is now took
They thrive
They live
They eat
They give
A thrill
As they dip
In and out of the sea
Our eyes see a whale
But a strong feeling overpowers
In you and in me
Take a breathtaking trip
Take an adventure of fun
And you might
You just might
See a surfacing whale baking in the sun
Cutting the wavy pacific
Swimming down deep
Symbolising the ocean
With every water churning leap
Rulers of the ocean
Whales
