Blue Beluga Brooch by 'Made by White', $25 from www.ytba.com.au. Poem by Ellen Kennedy from Pennsylvania.
Two blue whales are swimming
They are friends
They enjoy music, writing poetry, and avocados with soy sauce
‘Here is a mix cd,’ says one whale
The other whale says ‘thank you’
‘It says it is by nofx but I know it isn’t nofx, it might be leftover crack’ says the first whale
The other whale says ‘thank you’
At home the whale listens to the mix cd while exercising on an elliptical machine
‘This isn’t leftover crack,’ the whale thinks
The other whale comes to visit the whale
‘Did you listen to the cd?’ says the first whale
The other whale says ‘yes, this isn’t leftover crack’
The whale says ‘oh’ and swims away
This is the end of their relationship
