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 bird I would choose,
wearing dinner-suit feathers
and flappy pink shoes.

I am looking forward to the coming days when the earth will flourish again, the plants will grow, fresh air will flow and visitors will flock to our shores. Our beaches are white and clean and lofty green hills with tall and small trees waving in the breeze bearing a symbol of love welcoming our visitors from overseas.
Blue Mountains of various sizes gaze beyond the horizon as the skies gleam above them and our dreams locks between them. I could see it from a distance the hope that was once lost surfacing in the clouds and moving at a rapid pace. They look at us with welcoming eyes as we meet beneath the colorful skies sharing our thoughts on top of the mountain.
I just cannot erase these natural exotic feelings; it is that part of me that says, I have no ambition but I will make it through this high velocity wind. And when it starts to blow, my heart will grow and you will settle the dust. You must release the animals to breath fresh air before the summit begins.
The birds are flocking the earth and the animals are grazing on the hill and a spirit of solitude has landed in the tree. Everyone wants to be part of this thing, but they are all singing a different hymn and so we have to widen the location to accommodate everyone in this thing. Is it policy or personality, is it money or gravity, I want everybody to be happy so I have to call another meeting.
The Adelie penguin couple walks in proudly and sits on the chair acknowledging everyone far and near, the alligator sits at the back wearing an apron and a frock with its mouth close and jaw lock. It stares at everyone in the room and said that it will be traveling soon.
The Australian Pelican sits at the table with its long beak pointing at the universe, the Bengal tiger sits in the middle and the African lion sits at the sides. The bison was there too and it was wearing a brand new pair of shoe. The big eye squirrel fish and the beta fish from below start swimming around to start this promiscuous show. The African wild dog cries around with an anchor a head and a crown while the Atlantic puffin pines away.
The motion was read everyone nods their head and the agenda was taken to the floor. This things was not about personality or character it is about performance, ambition and ingenuity and the one that was able to prevent a global calamity when chaos and crises swam in the bed.I see hands going up and a deal was struck, and everyone had a subtle smile.
We welcome those days again when America and England will be close friends we will hold each other’s hand and survey the entire land. As they embrace the final wind they all agree for the summer to chime in and Cinderella to wear the crown.
