Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Looking Out From My Arctic Home

Here in the Arctic land here I stay
the coldest climate found anywhere
though in recent years it's warmer
makes one wonder feeling change of air

This brings these humans over here
always click clicking in my direction
you would think I was a real beau
up here all of us feel a reaction

I don't know what these are about
so many dangers around the ocean
predators abound seeking for food
need to be very careful without a doubt

When the winter comes it's bitter
all of us stick together as one
interchanging to protect from the wind
used to it I am as don't have the sun

Well, this is me can you guess?
my colour scheme is black and white
a Penguin I am one of a King
love my country for me it's just right

(Here I am living in my homeland, all very cold and freezing and I am royalty being a King, yea a King Penguin!)
