The Dolphin

________________________________________________
Title:     The Dolphin
Author: Oliver Herford [More Titles by Herford]

The Dolphin was, if you should wish
To call him so,--the King of Fish.
Though having neither gills nor scales,
His title _should be_ Prince of Whales.
While too small waisted to provide
A Jonah with a Berth Inside,
The Dolphin has been known to pack
A Drowning Sailor on his back
And bear him safely into port,--
He was a Taxi-whale, in short.

[The end]
Oliver Herford's poem: Dolphin
