Blue Whale Visits The Supermarket

She only ate in summer,3 tons of food per day And a girl must think of her figure after all Which was why she only visited fish, veg, fruit aisles She was bursting with excitement, Positively drooling, with her tongue the weight of an elephant And her heart the size of your average family car When the insurers entered the premises, They noted the fridges emptied of salmon, pollock And seaweed, and the curious fact that sea-oil products Had been consumed, enough to loosen the bowels Of 3,000 consumers. Blue whale sailed into the deeps On a definite high, topped up with 10 gallons of rum Latest adverts claim Blue whales endorse fish fingers
