I have been writing poetry, fiction and short stories for many years and have completed a book of poems. I also enjoy comedy writing.

So I stopped by the ocean the other day just to see how things going

I stumbled upon two whales splashing and showing

Then the stopped a while and noticed I was there

Then the whales began to converse with each other and this was all I could hear

Mogoooola Chuurrp Chuurrp

Whooooosh Whoooooshp

Mogoooola Churrrp Chuuurp

Eeeeeesse Essssse Essssse whoowhooo

Then for a moment it was as if the whales were laughing

They seemed to be joyful about something

Then all of a sudden I began to understand the whale’s language

My mind was free from the moons bondage

The whales were making fun of how I looked

I was tiny and scrawny to them and I looked like a worms’ hook

One whale wanted to swallow me but the other said no

Because I was just too ugly and looked like a crow

The whales spoke many things but most was mock and jeer

Now I insult whales when I am just sitting in the middle of the ocean nowhere.

Yes Ruby, whales think very highly of their handsome selves.

Whale watching sounds Great Eric.

John, these whales don't swallow humans, they prefer fresh cheeseburgers.

What an imagination you have! I like your whale poem as it is so cute.

This was a fun little poem. Hope you had a Merry Christmas

Just when I think you've written a fun poem, you come up with another one. Whales thinking you're ugly and talking about you is unique and funny....

A quick fly-by to wish you a very Merry Christmas!

Strange as it may sound we set aside time to watch them on migration. Your poetry is great. I need to clean the lenses on my binoculars. .

Nice bit of humour to start Christmas Clive.

Every time I go on a boat I am wary that whales may mistake Jodah for Jonah. It is not an easy feeling. This was a fun poem.
