It was on the good ship Silurian

The crew they cried in delirium

There’s porpoise here

There’s porpoise there

But Steve cries it’s the same one here again

 

While under stress doing last nights blog

There’s one event we failed to log

A minke we thought we may defend

As it approached the pointy end

But with relief it slipped underneath

 

While we returned up the sound

The crew expected minke’s to abound

Though seal and porpoise they were seen

The sea it was completely clean

Of any whale not matter where we sail

 

The ladies jigged on the Silurian deck

Those big waves they said “What the heck?”

The Tiller Girls did a merry dance

As to the mooring we did advance

While Glen played a tune under another full moon

 

The day it ended in Loch Aline

Noot a minke ne’er were seen

People gathered round the chilli pot

And ravenously consumed the lot

Exchanging tales of once seen whales.
