"_Very like a Whale._"--What is the origin of this expression? It occurs in
the following doggerel verses, supposed to be spoken by the driver of a
cart laden with fish:
"This salmon has got a tail;
_It's very like a whale_;
It's a fish that's very merry;
They say its catch'd at Derry.
It's a fish that's got a heart;
It's catch'd and put in Dugdale's cart."
