Mr. Penguin

On top of an iceberg,
All covered with snow,
I saw my first penguin.

I wanted to know,
Oh is it a bird?
Or is it a fish?
I look at his feathers,
And knew which was which.

I said, ''Mr. Penguin,
Which species are you?''
He said, ''I'm emperor
And not a gentoo.''

I said, ''Mr. Penguin,
What's under your patch?''
He said, ''It's an egg,
It's ready to hatch.''

I said, ''Mr. Penguin,
Oh where is your wife?''
''She's out in the ocean,
She'll be back tonight.''
Said Mr. Penguin,

''Her name is Jill.
She's out in the ocean,
Feeding on krill.''

The next thing I knew,
I heard a peep.
And I saw a chick,
At the emperor's feet.

I'm so tired! *falls over*
