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

Very funny. They are marvellous creatures. I saw them near Cape Town and am still in awe ...

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

Poor dear; I hope he finished with a bow. Cute one.

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

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
