Rhymes and Poetry
If You Ever Meet a Whale
(Traditional.)
If you ever, ever, ever,
If you ever, ever, ever,
If you ever, ever, ever, meet a whale,
You must never, never, never,
You must never, never, never,
You must never, never, never touch its tail.
For if you ever, ever, ever,
If you ever, ever, ever
If you ever, ever, ever touch its tail,
For if you ever, ever, ever,
If you ever, ever, ever
If you ever, ever, ever touch its tail,
You will never, never, never,
You will never, never, never,
You will never, never
Meet another whale.
