Let me tell you a
tale, the tale of a whale,
a whale of a tale of
a whale with two tails.
This whale we'll
call Dale, once caught up In a gale,
a monstrous gale
that brought strong wind and hail!
As he rose to
inhale, he could see a torn sail,
a distress and a
panic and startling wail.
He knew he must act,
and must do it full-scale,
this ship was in
peril and destined to fail.
The water was
filling, the captain would bail,
making him weary,
exhausted and frail.
He reached for that
rope at the pace of a snail,
cautious he was, so
that he would prevail.
Balance that ship on
his back, did that whale,
leading it off with
the strength of those tails.
Then reaching for
land and escaping that gale,
he swam and he swam
on that watery trail.
When he was still
young all the others would flail,
as they laughed and they joked at the whale with
two tails.
But now as a hero
they all would detail,
That day in that
harbor, that ship and that gale.
No one would believe
him, this tallest of tales,
this whale of a tale
of a whale with two tails.
So the captain kept
quiet, would never unveil,
this story, this
legend, this friend he called Dale.
