Couldn't immediately come up with a serious poem for workshop tonight, so I added one to the animals poems . . . .
Killer Whale
People love the killer whale,
from its toothy grin to its too-high tail.
In Sea World pools they used to pet 'em
Until one grinned up at a trainer – and et 'im.
A horrible sight to the humans who watched,
But you really can't say the performance was botched.
It did give the creature a moment of fame . . .
And where did you think that it got that name?
