Sea Life

This is for the latest Trifecta Challenge (Trifextra Week 100?)
http://www.trifectawritingchallenge.com/
Here are the directions: 

We are asking for a 33-word response to the following snippet:

The first time I saw. . .

Here's the catch: all of your 33 words must be one syllable each.  We're going low-brow on your this week.  Or not.  Can you class it up under these restrictions?  Give us your best.
To clarify, we are giving you 5 words.  We want another 33 from you, for a grand total of 38

With those directions, I could only think "poem", and I employed word contractions after some resistance to get me to the word limit. Here goes:

The first time I saw
a whale
breach

I thought:
"Sky's no home for whales"

The first time I saw
a whale
beached

I thought:
"Sand's no home for whales"

We too act
as though
we're not home
