(A Funny Whale Poem For Kids)
Wally the Whale
We went to sea, the sun was hot.
Our boat was small, it bobbed a lot.
A fish jumped up, it was so big.
We laughed and laughed.
A storm came up, the waves were high.
We closed our eyes, we did not cry.
A whale came near, it said, “Hello!”
We waved and smiled, then down we go.
