Headless Penguins Doing Their Dance

Headless penguins doing their dance Walking their walk on the pebble sea of chance Their fat little tummies pushed out so proud But no voices at all in this penguin dance crowd Are they twins? We others ask with concern. Without heads can the penguin dance they learn? They trot in the our midst and begin to jive and jiggle In no way worried they are headless in the middle They are arrogant! An outraged uncle yelled out. And without heads! How is it possible? Says another angry lout. I do not care for they are pleasant enough to me. After all how nasty can two headless penguins be?

I enjoy these amazing flightless birds who can withstand Antarctica's brutal cold without freezing to death? I've written several poems about them as a vehicle for humor. / M

I saw a photo of them and it truly looked like they had no heads.

Too funny a line: In no way worried they are headless in the middle
