Oh, Mr. Killer Whale! (Mentor Text by Mrs. Warntz)

Oh, Mr. Killer Whale,
what if we met?
An awesome
black-and-white beast,
at the apex of the food chain.
Eating seals, sea birds, and octopuses,
you're a killing machine with no natural predators.
Oh, Mr. Killer Whale,
what if we met?
~~~~~
Oh, Mr. Killer Whale,
what if we met?
Your size boggles my mind,
as long as a school bus,
weighing up to 12,000 pounds!
And then there’s your teeth,
sharp as a razor,
up to four.inches.long!
Oh, Mr. Killer Whale,
what if we met?
~~~~~
Oh, Mr. Killer Whale,
what if we met?
Sometimes called an orca
and even the assassin whale!
Swimming in the cold Arctic seas
and the warm waters of the tropics
it’s good to know,
a human like me is not considered
a snack for you!
Oh, Mr. Killer Whale,
what if we met?
~~~~~
