Whale Poems Songs and Poems About WhalesMelinda MaeHave your heard of tiny Melinda Mae, Who ate a monstrous whale? She thought she could, She said she would, So she started right in at the tail. And everyone said, "You're much too small," But that didn't bother Melinda at all. She took little bites and she chewed very slow, Just like a good girl should... ...And in eighty-nine years she ate that whale Because she said she would! ----------------------------------------- What is a Whale? A whale is not as small as us. Most whales are bigger than a bus! A whale is not like a fish in the sea. A whale breathes air like you and me. A whale can't walk upon the ground. A whale must swim to get around. A whale is a mammal just like me. But its home is in the deep blue sea. The Whale The whale is swimming out to sea, Out to sea, out to sea, The whale is swimming out to sea Early in the morning. The whale is diving far below, Far below, far below, The whale is diving far below, Early in the morning. The whale is coming up for air, Up for air, up for air, The whale is coming up for air, Early in the morning. ----------------------------------------- I'm a Great Big Whale I'm a great big whale, Watch me as I swim. (pretend to swim) Here is my blowhole, (point to top of head) Here are my fins. (wave hands against body.) See me flip my tail As down I go, (pretend to dive) Then up I come And 'WHOOSH!' I blow. (thrust arms up and out) ----------------------------------------- Whales Whales are very big, (stretch arms out at sides) They live under the sea (duck down while holding nose) Swimming happily round and round (Make swimming movements) With friends and family. (hug self) ----------------------------------------- Big Gray Whale I swim in the ocean, I swim in the sea. I'm a big gray whale, Come and watch me. (cup hands above eyes) I love to spray water Up through my sprout. If you get any closer, You'd better watch out! (thrust arms up and make whooshing sounds)
