Bird or Fish

Birds stay in the sky where they belong.
They fly about.  They sing a song.
You'll hear a black crow loudly cackle.
You'll see a pigeon or a grackle.
But fish, are found only in the water.
They stay in oceans where they oughter, 
where an octopus (with charm) disarms,
employing his collection of arms.
So, while, you might think it is absurd, 
the silliest question you ever heard,
I ask, is a penguin a fish or bird?

Hi David if those penguins start flying then it's time to worry.
