Polka Dotted Whale of a Tale

Discoversaba.com










In a  blue  sea I met a  spotted  cat
on  the  back  of a polka dotted whale
one  giant  fish  he  could  make  you  go  splat
the two of them had  some amazing tales

so , I asked the two how do you  make  dreams
a splish and a  splash and a dash of  that 
dish wishy wish under purple moonbeams
seek the starfish , wearing a magic  hat 

here I met a  striped turtle named Myrtle
she would  carry  my dreams into  the sea
seahorses jumped  over  coral hurdles
smiling moon aglow dancing over trees 

musical waves  softly lull  me to sleep 
realm of  possibilities dreams run  deep

  3. That's quite a soothing, gentle lullaby of a poem - a nice change of pace from the other nonsense verses I've been reading today.
