Penguin Parents
Two penguin parents and their chick
Are bringing people ‘round
To ogle at their lifestyle
And the happiness they’ve found.
Australians are delighted
At the airing of this tale
For the parents, Sphen and Magic,
Are both penguins who are male.
Their obvious affection
Led their keepers to decide
To entrust them with an egg
Neglectful parents did provide.
They built a nest and alternated
Sitting ‘til it hatched,
Each spending near a month, a time
No other penguins matched.
Though humans often battle
Over whether gays should wed,
They should look to Sphen and Magic,
Seeing what their love has bred.
