Said The Whale

“Zebras have stripes and leopards have spots,
And pigs have a curly tail,
But I haven’t anything nice like that-
I’m only a great pig whale.”

“Oh, dear Mr. Whale,” the animals cried,
“You don’t need to make such a fuss.
You can swim, and spout water-a most clever trick.
Now why should you envy US?”
