It Makes A Change

There's nothing makes a Greenland whale

Feel half so high and mighty

As sitting on a mantelpiece

In Aunty Mabel's nighty.

It makes a change from Freezing Seas,

(Of which a whale can tire),

To warm his weary tail at ease

Before an English fire.

For this delight he leaves the seas

(Unknown to Aunty Mabel),

Returning only when the dawn

Lights up the Breakfast Table.
