My Penguin
Penguins…
They find eachother
Stick with one another
Together forever
Him with her and her with him
Through the cold and death
Loving eachother
That seeps through
Till the last breath
But if only I could find
My penguin....

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 Penguin - Long Version
THE PENGUIN

Way down south on a continent frozen
The penguin a tough life has chosen
Though you’d think he’d be coy
Like a super-cool playboy
You’ll find him out preening and posin’

With movement on foot unexciting
He shuffles along then goes sliding
Though on land a slow coach
In depart or approach
In...

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...

Soul of An Eagle Life of a Penguin
Soaring in my mind above the blue skies.
Warmth penetrating across my brow.
Diving to feel a cool breeze and soaring again
On strong wings. Time is no importance while on top today.

I look across the vast sea and know I can swim fast and free.
I float, dart...

The Parable and the Penguin
All the world a stage
Our love not left on a shelf
Waters edge, in spades

Written in stone, ring
Waddle waddle kind of swing
Will you marry me

As we take the plunge
Into the depths out of blue
Our ceremony

Is a slow walk, true
Is a path already paved
So walk with me...

Dear Penguin
Adelie penguins,
dear little things,

black on your backs, 
black on your wings,

round white tummies
and flat pink feet,

your waddle is funny 
and so is your squeak.

When you dive in the water
and porpoise around,

jumping back on your feet
when you land on the ground,

it’s a penguin I’d be,
if a...

Spiffed up in my tux and looking so cool

   My, how the ladies do titter and drool

      I strut about to entice

         Fell on my bum on the ice

He cannot soar as eagles do
 Singing is not for him tis true
  So this  tale is told in black and white
 in places where cold winds blow
   So bundle up and take this flight
 On a journey to the floe

I adore penguins
Sliding on the frozen ice
Love how they waddle
Have wings that can never fly
Mating partners all their life

Blacky the Penguin
There was a young penguin named Blacky
His walk was considered quite wacky
He dressed in a tux
But unlike the ducks
The noise he made wasn't a quacky

I Wish I Weren'T a Penguin
I WISH I WEREN’T A PENGUIN
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS


I wish I were a penguin in a warm protected land
The sunny Galapagos islands, where I could lie and tan
Compete with marine iguanas for a visitors attention
Where guides are paid to be alert n  offer me protection
Yes,...

Chilly the Penguin reached his shop and checked his bunch of keys
He opened up his clothing store and hoped that he could please
A spider came in from the cold, some winter wear to choose
He told the penguin shopkeeper, “I need much warmer shoes.”

“Would that be...
