Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

The Penguin Who Squawked For His Supper

There once was a penguin, got lost in France
Had to sing for his supper or else dance --
   He decided to squawk
   At which Parisians gawked --
He hit a high note and down came his pants

Kai Michael Neumann January 19, 2020 at 3:14 AM Very funny. They are marvellous creatures. I saw them near Cape Town and am still in awe ... Gershon Wolf January 19, 2020 at 3:33 PM Yes, penguins are marvelous and can be a lot of fun, esp. when trying to hit those high notes. LOL. Thanks, Kai. Best wishes, Gershon

Jean Bush January 13, 2020 at 8:13 PM Poor dear; I hope he finished with a bow. Cute one. Gershon Wolf January 13, 2020 at 10:52 PM The penguin did, indeed, bow at the finale --- clutching his little vest-top tight, as the breeze found his nether parts. :) Happy 'Ending!' Thanks, Jean. Smiles, Gershon

Lindsay Laurie January 13, 2020 at 4:43 PM G'day Gershon … this penguin was certainly lost if its in France. I've been amongst many penguins but none spoke French - thanks Gershon - Lindsay Gershon Wolf January 13, 2020 at 5:14 PM No kidding?! Why, most penguins I know are multilingual --- They don't understand anything I tell 'em no matter what tongue I speak! LOL. Smiles, Gershon

Tom Cunningham January 12, 2020 at 2:26 AM Haha, the sort of thing you sometimes dream about and wake up cringing. Tom Gershon Wolf January 12, 2020 at 12:33 PM Never saw a penguin drop trousers in the men's bathroom before, Cunningham?! Don't get squeamish on us, now! LOL. Thanks, Tom! :) gw
