Penguins

These cheeky little feathery chappies

in smart black jackets they waddle

among the boulders on the shore edge

before gathering together in a huddle

Penguins are amazing creatures

who love to toboggan down a slope

slithering down on their stomachs 

than back again, they don't need a rope!

they're so comical and friendly

diving down and splashing around 

confidently swimming through water

masters of the ocean, they've been crowned.

flapping their wings while waddling along

watch these handsome penguins go

amazing flightless aquatic birds 

come by and visit them and say hello!
