The great Jeehookibus, fan-fluke whale
He fanned and fanned with his big, broad
tail,
Till my petticuts filled and I floated there,
Like a thistle-balloon on the summer air.
’Twas the slickest performance, our doryman
swore,
That ever was seen on the Banks;
He lowered me back in my dory once more
And I giv’ him my heartiest thanks.
