First sighted in the Magellan Strait
in 1767 he
a famous old French Naturalist
Commerson was born to be
discovering these wild souls
active playful and small
diving and somersaulting
and having themselves a ball
also called and Jacobita
a Pie Bald Dolphin too
With tremendous curiosity
when swimming in the blue
tiny by comparison to many
the colour of the Orca tribe
impulsive swimming through
Hoops to follow wayward ships
flashing in their bows
with wonderful reactions
and divining powers
quantum leaps
Progression
resourceful I can say
they caught the eye
of that french guy
And from that very day
his name became their name
no contradiction there
with what is true vivacity
its a shame that they are rare
