WHALES AND PORPOISES

 

He lived on the edge of the ocean

and I heard him say several times,

“I’ve lived here by the sea all these years

and I’ve never seen a porpoise or a whale.”

And I heard this neighbor of him say

in return, “Oh I’ve see at least 100 of them.”

I guess some people can sit and watch

and wait and some people can’t. Oh I

Forgot, some people can lie and exaggerate.”
