Penguin Poem

During the long days of the
Summer solstice, Penguins slide on
The icy terrain of Antarctica

The Emperor waddles and squaks,
While the King Penguin flops

The yellow-eyed penguin is cautious
Of its territory
Chasing anyone away with fury

The little blue penguin burrows
Careful not to get eaten by a big predator

It waddles in colonies along
The rocky beach

Along comes a leopard seal
It decides to reach
For a harmless little
Penguin

P

E

N
inety miles an hour
 
Gross regurgitation

U
nique animals
 
Iconic animals

N
ests made of rocks and bones

South of the equator
