Genesis 1:21 Ezekial 32:2 Job 7:12 Matthew 12:40 If not all of the lines in the poemmade sense to you I've given the explaination in red. "God made Adam out of the dust, But thought it best to make me first; So I was made before the man, According to God's Holy plan. " Swimming creatures were made on the 5th day. Adam was made on day #6. "Later, for a purpose God did see, He placed a living soul in me. But that soul in me God chose to claim, And from me took it back again." Jonah "Without arms, legs, feet, or soul, I travel on from pole to pole." Whales are long-distance travelers "I labor hours by day, by night to follow man to give him light. Thousands of people, young and old, will by my death great light behold." Whale oil burns very nicely in many lamps. But the whale must be killed to get the oil.
