Beautiful poetry! And I love dolphins and whales! I have seen dolphins close up, and I also had the good fortune of coming very close to some humpback whales off Yarmouth, NS, a breath-taking experience...

It isn't just the size, Mademoiselle-- it's the convolutions--
a factor that does seem to have significance in a brain's complexity of processing, and intelligence. Of course, the word 'intelligence' is one of those terms it is pretty hard to pin down, and to quantify!

I doubt dolphins are really as smart as their brain size would suggest, though.
Because I bet, if you actually opened it up, a lot of the brain would just be empty space.
If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy,
which one would you think liked dolphins the most?
I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you?
You'd be wrong, though. It's Hambone.
