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 18th June 2015

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

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
Date: 6/18/2015 5:26:00 PM

LOL no need to worry they are well behaved penguins - maybe he bats for the other side lol:-) hugs jan xx

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
Date: 6/18/2015 4:23:00 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

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!
