Poles Apart
Polar bear at the north pole,
floating on a lone ice floe,
thinks to himself,
'What happened to my world,
where did all the ice go?'
If to the south pole he did depart,
penguins to compare,
would he then be,
a well-traveled
bipolar bear?

PENGUINS
Black and white penguins,
They are so elegant,
In their tuxedo they are wearing,
So graceful,
And extremely endearing!
Waddling along in the snow,
They dive into the waters,
And off they go.
Twisting and turning,
In the icy waters they play,
In the deep ocean,
Venturing beneath the waves each day.
On the frozen ice,
They gather

Penguins are my escape
Envious by their extreme courage
Neverending curiosity they display
Going the extra mile to survive
Underestimating their capabilities
I am saddened by the decrease in populations
Not knowing enough about the decline
Sustainable practices is crucial for their survival

Dancing Penguins
On the ice where the cold winds blow,
A group of penguins put on a show.
With flippers that flap,
And feet that tap,
They danced in the moonlight's glow.
In tuxedos black and white,
They waltzed all through the night.
With a slide and a glide,
And a spin to the side,
Their moves were quite the sight.
They boogied to the beat of

Black and White
There are lots of things that are black and white,
Like zebras and Newcastle United, they are a good team and get their fans excited.
Penguins are mostly black and white, but some have coloured plumage too,
There are quite a few different types you can see them in the zoo.
There are lots of crows, from rooks and

How Random
How Random
I'm not sure
That's Much of
An Insult,
I Guess...
And I sure don't
Want to
Adopt it,
As a Saying,
You know...
But I kinda'
Want people to
Say that about
Me!
Behind my back,
When I'm not Looking...
All the time.

Blue Angels, Black Sheep, Monitors and the House of Random Penguins
“Blue Angels, Black Sheep, Monitors and The House of Random Penguins”
The womb
is scooped like
an over ripe melon
Time is the incorrigible felon,
the forgotten lost garden explored
overturned and raked,
neatly messed,
in more ways than 1,
never removed, not yet,
it would be too very much missed;
the once contained trophy misplaced,
the dreams replaced by monitors,

The Penguins
I can still hear that voice speaking as if someone was dreaming, it is the voice that you hear when someone is trapped between mid-night and daylight and the sun comes charging at you and the wind kept running after you; and the only way out is to embrace the sun and the wind and

Nature
Always mistreated, never a topic to consider about.
A big hole where everybody is in, without a retunring ticket back.
We enjoy those beautiful areas, we have a wonderful time.
Behind the joy we never think,
we've

Penguins Girl
Penguin gave a hearty shout!
At last his girlfriend was out!
She must have had a bit of clout.
Or the judge had some kind of doubt.
Anyway, penguin thought, do not flout
The fact that you are now out, out, out
For the court could still go another route
And incarcerate you with another lout.
Penguin’s girl was a wee bit stout
She

The Day It Rained Penguins
It was September 16th, 1898, the day it rained penguins.
There was a magician in town; he arrived in a hot air balloon.
Who does he think he is? We asked ourselves, but we were intrigued.
The penguins were all over the streets, running and hopping.
Did they come down from the sky? Did he bring them in the

Pilchard the Penguins New Pal
Pilchard the penguin was going to school
He waddled alone, he knew no-one at all
There’s a hole in the ice and a fish called out
“Why the long face, what are you sad about?”
Pilchard the penguin said, “It’s my first day,
I hoped I would make a new friend on my way.”
The fish said, “I’ll ask you your

Penguins Mishap Is Honorable
Penguin was embarrassed because he had fallen through the ice.
He had not done it only one time, he had done it thrice.
Anchorage Alaskan penguins cheered and yelled “one more time!”
He became a hero of sorts, so he felt a bit more sublime.
Now on a roll, he decided to try to break the ice.
He jumped on

Predatory Penguins
Particularly peripatetic
penguins pursue pharmacological
possibilities perusing polar
predator proboscis predilections,
predominantly picking putrified,
phenobarbital-packed perch-piece puree
packings, provocatively presented.

I wish I could have gotten a rhyme in there as well,
but that's an alliterative Pleiades with 10-syllable lines.
It's also a near summary of the latest escapades over on
the collaborative limerick thread in forums...

Penguins sure walk funny, funny they do
Waddling side to side, feet like orange overshoes
Why were they made like that
Why weren't they made like cats
Or screech when you step on their wazoo
