A Sea Shanty

Dolphins have been rescuing people
since the days of the ancient Greeks,
one of their deities being Apollo Dolphinus,
and so it goes throughout history,
dolphins saving us from the sharks.
And I must declare, slightly in jest,
that especially when anywhere near the sea,
everyone needs a porpoise.
