Soft sighs and spout smoke
Break the stillness of morning
The gray whale passes.
Mighty whalers are we,
Armed with camera harpoons
Aim, shoot, and miss. Oh!
Wild flukes and flippers
Churning the blue water white
Courtship of the whales.
Look there, quick, and see
Fountain on the horizon
A breeching gray whale.
Up, up, up, and CRASH
A breeching gray whale leaps and
Down, down, down, and SPLASH.
Baja beachcomber
Just like the ruddy turnstone
Shell to shell to shell
Waves on hidden reef
Charging and sounding all around
Gigantic ghost whales.
Bucking and pitching
Our boat missed the whistle in
The wave rodeo.
Laughing dolphins leap
Silver flashes cross the bow
Leaping dolphins laugh.
