When belches the whale,
a real typhoon comes down
on the plankton, sardines clear off,
poor small animals,
when belches the whale
shrimps have bad breath,
and the ocean makes bubbles
which rise up to the sky …

I wrote this poem with childish mood five years ago, I guess children would like it.

I like it - though many would say that I am not a good judge because I am so childish.  I love the shrimp's bad breath.  

This is whimsical and wonderful, yann.

Yo Yann,

Could that whale possibly be induced to vomit up some ambergris?  

Of course ambergris is money in the bank.  

Tell that whale that mere belching just won't do.
