The Whale Showed Up    

I followed the fortunes
Of the Thames Whale
Avidly on Sky TV,
 
But what they didn’t say
Was that that whale was a
Buddhist.
 
Don’t know what he was
In his previous life,
But next he turned up
As a Daff – I know,
I picked him,
And chucked him in the
Taff.
 
Next life, what’ll he be?
Where will he show up?
I don’t know – maybe as
A bee in Zimbabwe,
And it won’t be long
Before he’s floating down
The Zambezi.
