“The New Loaves and Fishes”

The mighty cetacean,
That noble creation,
With bread would go far
(Also sauce tartar).

That should be your internet poet.

@Gail F.: Not only can they compose in English, they can do it as badly as …say, you run-of-the-mill internet poet:

Now our birthing grounds gone
So it won’t be too long
When we’ll all disappear
And no longer be here

@Gail F: I don’t know. I think something is lost in the translation from whale song. And I thought group think was a bad thing.

You mock her! Go on, mock! Your mockery is most unseemly. Dianne will NOT BE MOCKED!

If there’s global warming,
Catastrophe forming,
We won’t be swarming,
And English has so few end-rhymes.

When the ocean’s destroyed
We’re no longer employed
And without us here
You can’t support the biosphere

That is FABULOUS!!! What a great poem. Who knew the ceteceans could compose in English?

Dear Joules: Yes; a long step down from the Ent-Moots.

The tree rhymes have a slightly wooden quality.

Did she say how the hobbits are doing?

BTW, it’s ironic that one of The 5th Dimension’s hits was “Aquarius.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EegRh8Z4H-o
