In Celebration of Penguins


Dear Geraldine

A Penguin went a wandering
Oh, it was a pretty sight
She took a balloon
And sang a tune
Then hummed it through the night
She sang it to the moon and sea
And they were much impressed
She sang it to a crab or three
As they were getting dressed
She tapped it out each foot in turn
Till it became a dance
Performed it for some passing birds
Which left their lives enhanced
She whistled it as I recall
While sliding on her belly
A stunt made easier because
She was so full of jelly
This story's true I swear to you
The facts are clearly right
And Geraldine is proof because
She's here in black and white

Thank you

Horace
