In Praise of Penguins
by Robin Bernard

These funny birds in fancy clothes
May waddle in the snow,
But when they reach the icy sea
Just watch how fast they go!
Their song sounds like a donkey's bray,
They cannot soar or fly,
Yet penguins manage very well,
And let me tell you why...
Their feathers keep out water,
Their blubber keeps out cold,
Their wings make perfect paddles
Because they do not fold!
Their tales are good for steering,
They brake with both their feet
So tell me now, from all you've heard...
Aren't penguins NEAT?
