I don't know what it was but it didn't hold my attention.It was too long.The subject maybe.It almost like a children's book.I like the rhyme it was real good.You don't need to use such big words.Sorry Just my opinion.beth

Oh that is so cute I loved this poem and your picture is a perfect fit.... This is my fav part in your poem "Now the pride of the cetaceans
Leads the great United Nations,
A million minions at his beck and call.
'THE WORLD HAS HALVED EMISSIONS!'
Scream the latest news editions,
And 'GRAMPUS IS THE ONE WHO SAVED US ALL!'"

This is a fun piece. I guess every animal must have some sort of opinion of his counterparts. I enjoyed this little jaunt through the ocean.

Top order creation. Very poetic, full of humour, apt for the age, contemporary. The rhyme and imagery are pure fun. An aspiring Leacock or Caroll. This genre suits the poet eminently. Not all established poets can write good humour poetry. Wish the poet more success.

Your author notes are superb-you have good imagery and a good flow with your poem-this poem is funny but it contains some truth as far as the earth--I like where you write(Now the climate's getting warmer) a true and powerful statement that you wrote here--a well penned write-great job.

Very fanciful, very witty, very sweet.
I find man is no animal, he is only a beast.
I just want to know how Grampus 'saved the world'.
Of that we have no explanation, not even a word.
Except a slogan to 'cut emissions by half'.
If we are saved by slogans, then let us all laugh.
Grampus reminds me of the great Twitter whale -
The story of that cetacean is another tall tale.

    I know that Grampus saved us but I don't know how he did it.
    I think he gained the world's top spot and then said I will rid it
    Of polluters and emitters and other evil-doers
    Like kiddy-pervs and rapists and wide-mouth-open chewers.
    I'll only tell you that the world enjoyed his spell as Top Cetacean;
    And I'm afraid the rest is down to your imagination!

    Well, you made me sob and weep, or cry and wail,
    'Cos you never said a word about the great Twitter whale.
reply by the author on 22-Jun-2011
    That's because I have no clue
    What you are referring to
    I know a whale called Migaloo
    And Moby Dick is well-known too
    'Beached As' Whale's on Tube of You
    But Twitter Whale I'll have to Goo
