Whales

Of all the creatures on this earth
the whale has the greatest girth.
Another way to state the matter:
an elephant's fat, but a whale is fatter.
How fat? you ask. Well, I'm afraid
not many of them have ever been weighed;
For so enourmous is the whale
that he won't even fit on a bathroom scale.
(A minor point, for if I recall-
he wouldn't fit in a bathroom at all.)
But offer him your very best diet,
and he would be quite loath to try it.
For after all the fact is this:
He's quite content the way he is.
