Poem: Whale Blimp

The Whale Blimp, a small prototype project for a friend's upcoming birthday. Almost complete, just need a hoop to set up the mobile. Then he'll be sailing for different skies soon!


Whale Blimp

The Tail of a whale,
A whale blimp he may be, but no whimp is he, for
he had the heart the size of a whale's!
who wanted to sail--

--And sail he did through the sky,
Up on the clouds, so very high.

A little blimp, in lofty breeze.
To sail the winds, the skies his seas.

The ocean could not contain him, oh no!
For nay, he knew awaited, the limitless sky!

And up, up he went,
On his fins that were airborne meant.

The oceans of past, and skies today, tomorrow, who knows? Perhaps even space,
Because for him, to him, there were no lows.

For he was no whimp!
But a whale blimp!


Revision (March 11, 2017

The Tail of a whale,
who wanted to sail--
Carrying my signature bomb. I like
to blow my friends away.

--And sail he did through the sky,
Up on the clouds, so very high.

A little blimp, in lofty breeze.
To sail the winds, the skies his seas.

The ocean could not contain him, oh no!
For the blue expanse, was above and below.

And he knew awaited, the limitless sky! 
So very high, that he need must fly!

And up, up he went,
On his fins that were airborne meant.

The oceans of past, and skies today, tomorrow, who knows? 
Perhaps even space, for to him, he knew not the lows.

For he was no whimp! 
But a whale blimp!

p.s. I wanted to put in a pun about Little Wei being a hot air baleen, but I couldn't find anywhere to put it in.
