The Penguin

It is so simple its black and its white 
Make a simple decision wrong or right
Every new day you chose your path to him 
or maybe you take an ice cold love swim?

So many but only one with your ring 
Your love struggle is beginning to sting 
Look deep  into your heart and see my face 
It should be easy to find my embrace 

a Penguin is so simple and so sweet
Never seeing any reason to cheat
For ever and ever a simple choice 
Your decision is something to rejoice 

This decision brings you so much tension 
Why humans can’t even do "the penguin” 


- for Jan-
