Behold the Whale Shark, the largest fish!
Though it’s fleshy, it’s not right for our dish
Having the name of a whale, it sounds great in size
Having the name of a shark, it looks fearful in the eyes
But though it’s large, there’s no threat to come near
And though it’s scary, there’s no need to fear

This giant is gentle like the biggest of dinosaurs
Like the Apatosauruses that were not carnivores
This harmless “Butanding” eats not by tearing
It’s wide mouth feeds strangely by filtering
So it’s really ridiculous to strike this gentle guy
Self defense can be a big, big lie…a funny alibi

The world is the home of this gentle giant
In all continents there it is like the elephant
Hey look it’s also on our 100 peso bill
The only place where no one can ****
But here in the Philippines, the government will punish you
If you catch, **** & sell this treasure we value!
