to remember the visit of
Humphrey
the Humpback Whale
Oct. 10, 1985 - Nov. 4, 1985

Humphrey the Humpback Whale,
a mighty whale was he
He swam into the Delta, to see what he could see
The people stood and stared, and the fish were scared
He was famous across the nation, until they ended his vacation
