WHINY... STOP WHINING!!
Whiny the Walrus, sat on the shore.
He closed his eyes and began to snore!
‘Wake up,’ said Toughy, leader of the pack.
‘There’s work to do, no one can slack!
It's time to go find some food…
Watch the pups, don't let them feud!’
All the parents swam out to sea,
leaving Whiny to guard the kid jamboree!
‘Why me, why me, why me’ he whined!
He started to doze as they sang and rhymed.
As he snored, they played away…
Swimming into sea from their little bay!
Just as Toughy was swimming back,
He saw the Shark swim for his pack.
He gathered them up and saved the day!
The pups were safe, back in the bay!
‘Whiny,’ yelled Toughy, ‘you went too far!!
Not doing your job, that's very bizarre!
Constant whining is a poor excuse,
So stop whining and be of use!
There’s no room for whiners in a team,
When you’re happy working, it's like a dream.'
Whiny was quiet as everyone stared.
‘NO MORE WHINING!!!’ he declared.
