The Whale by Hilaire Belloc — Read

The Whale that wanders round the Pole / Is not a table fish.

You cannot bake or boil him whole / Nor serve him in a dish;

But you may cut his blubber up / And melt it down for oil.

And so replace the colza bean / (A product of the soil).

These facts should all be noted down / And ruminated on, / By every boy in Oxford town / Who wants to be a Don.
