Penguins, on the
face of it,
Seem to be
pretty dim,
They cannot fly,
they live on ice,
And all they do
is swim.
Yet no one knows
the secret,
So far to be
unfurled,
That penguins
are the leaders
Of the entire
modern world.
Penguins invented ice cream,
Spaghetti and brown bread,
They found the cause of gravity
By falling on their heads.
They developed electricity,
Converted steam to power,
And noticed the delights
Of cheese with cauliflower.
The fine details
of
First class mail
Were a penguin
discovery,
Along with
kites,
The
And the
invention of the key.
The
They found one
May
While fishing by the moon.
But better than
that,
They created the
cat,
The car and the
Hot air balloon.
Their genius was without end,
They made
The compact disc and DVD,
The telephone, the library,
The motor car and rattlesnake,
(the last of those was some mistake)
The book, the rook, the letter Q,
The piano and the cockatoo;
All of these were penguin plans
Passed off as something made by man.
And here is
something you don’t know,
That penguins don’t
just live in snow.
The man next
door who’s sinister,
The President,
The Prime
Minister,
The butcher who
sells all the pies,
Are all just
penguins in disguise.
So next time when you watch TV
And see the penguins in the sea,
Remember this for all you’re worth,
It’s the penguin race that rules the earth.
