I’ve often thought I’d like to be
A giant whale who lived asea
Perhaps related to the beast
Who swallowed Jonah as a feast !
Think of the tales I could have heard
Right from an ancient humpback’s word
Oh what stories that I might spin
To shark or cod or small dolphin !
How much fun to splash about
Knowing God gave me my spout
Oh, what a grateful whale I’d be
Thankful He made great use of me !
