Notes About The Poem

Percy Penguin Finds a Partner

Percy penguin tried to dance
Sadly he had two left feet
Waltz and Tango – he took his chance
But he couldn’t quite get the beat

Then one day he did espy
An advert with his beady eye
Dance Classes Starting TODAY
He began to smile it made his day

So off to the dance hall he did go
He found a lady penguin  - her name was Flo
She had lost her dancing partner – he died at sea
Now she was as happy as can be

Percy took hold of her wing and tried to dance
Could this be the start of a beautiful romance?
Alas, Percy kept treading on her tiny toes
She needed them all to walk on the ice floes

They tried again; attempting a waltz and you could see
Percy was busily counting one two three one two three
Their dancing days continue, and to this day they carry on
You see them dance on the ice beneath the setting sun

Lindsay Laurie June 18, 2015 at 11:01 PM G'day Jan... a nice light hearted poem about much loved birds who dress up well for dancing. Penguins are only twenty miles from home and its a delight to have them waddling up the sand under moonlight amongst the people to feed their young which can be under a house - thanks Jan, enjoyed your poem - Lindsay Jan Allison June 19, 2015 at 2:00 AM Oh I am jealous of that Lindsay - I adore penguins -I only ever get to see them at our nature park lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Great job!Thanks l really enjoyed this piece. :) Alexis Jan Allison June 19, 2015 at 1:59 AM Thanks so much Alexis I adore penguins and have a collection of penguinalia :-) Hugs Jan xx

Judy Konos June 18, 2015 at 5:18 PM Very clever poetry....but I am kind of worried about Percy Penguin's partner because if Flo 'takes a notion' she'll bat him over! Jan Allison June 18, 2015 at 5:26 PM LOL no need to worry they are well behaved penguins - maybe he bats for the other side lol:-) hugs jan xx

Andrea Dietrich June 18, 2015 at 4:16 PM Jan, coming up next to YOUR poem here right now are ads for dancing lessons. Guess they are trying to tell the penguins something. Good grief. Jan Allison June 18, 2015 at 4:23 PM Wow how spooky is that Andrea - I can't see the adverts but for some days now I have had to make the page full screen so I can see all the categories:-) hugs Jan xx

Andrea Dietrich June 18, 2015 at 4:14 PM a very cute one, Jan. Remember that Disney movie about dancing penguins or something? It was adorable too. Jan, I am flipping mad. I cannot make edits due to ads appearing on the right side of my poems where i post them. I can't scroll down to match categories or to delete unnecessary info. In an effort to correct something, I accidentally deleted the poem i posted first (with your remark on it) can you go to my repost of it and comment there for me? Thanks, doll! Jan Allison June 18, 2015 at 4:20 PM will do:-) hugs Jan xx

James Fraser June 18, 2015 at 3:36 PM So cute Jan, dancing Penguins, if only, what a delight to see, hugs, James xx Jan Allison June 18, 2015 at 3:48 PM Just a fun write James as so stressed with dad's affairs at the moment i had to write for my 'insanity' sake lol:-) hugs Jan xx
