Brown Penguin
Penguins are such lovely creatures
they move along with such a waddle
in the sea they make quite a splash
better looking than a bikini clad model
But there was one born one day
whose colours were not the norm
the usual black and white was a miss
brown it was, caused quite a storm
Brown all brown from head to foot
no sight of any other colour or shade
it had all usual penguin form
so lovely a creature perfectly made
So what was one to make of it
the experts thought this is unique
they scratched their heads
could this be just a freak?
But a few months later answer came
as bits dropped off from its coat
it had been covered in tin of paint
on the ocean brown paint did float
(I First thought about the color of the shirt or blouse I was wearing.
then thought about the most recent animal I had seen either in the wild, online, on TV, or in my imagination.
So I took the color of my shirt I was wearing and the last animal I had seen and you make it the "Title Of My Poem")
