Whale Song

Come and see, see beneath the blue green sea
Drown yourself until you hear a song
Open your eyes and there you will see
Dolphins and whales more than 10 metres long
These beautiful great beasts in sounds they sing
High pitched squeaks along with deep low sounds
They do what they like. No one here is king
You will hear nothing like this on dry ground
The songs are sometimes sad. For this we grieve
We sit and see the performance unfurl
But we are needed at home. We must leave
We must leave them in silence and their world

So come with me now and take that one chance
And go to where the whales sing and dance


22nd August 1998
