   Tidying up Notes I took during covid lockdowns. You know, when #TheWellerman was big. I wrote a #breadLik:

   my name is Whale
   and wen at sea
   at times a boat
   bump into me

   and try to catch
   me where i float
   i get upset

   i take the boat

     “Ah,” you say, “But surely a whale would be much more eloquent than a cow?”

     OK then:

     I, a cetacean,
     Was out in the ocean
     Minding my business and krill

     When down bore a vessel
     Who wanted to wrestle
     For captain and crew members’ thrill

     As whale I am gifted
     With tail did I lift it
     Their whaling boat skywards was borne

     Forty days’ two-fer
     No Wellerman saved her
     I carried them ‘round the Cape Horn
