Tux Poems

The Ballad of Tux

It was just this morning.  That it was. 
At the table there sat only three.
There was Tux, the foam Linux penguin.
The others were my oatmeal and me.  

I never do tire of oatmeal.
But the penguin was growing old.
I stared at its unmoving face 
As my oatmeal began to get cold. 

The face on

Tux and Tails

Military coif
high and tight
not a hare out of place

Penguins Wearing Tux

Penguins are hilarious, they dress in tux
Waddle so funny but shluff it off with a shrug
The sight is a hoot
In their slick B&W suit
If one's on my lawn I'll give him a hug

That Tux In Your Mind

Do they only get dressed
  for those formal affairs

Are your words clothed in rags
  when no one else seems to care

Awaiting an invitation,
  do the hours seem long

Your verse patent leather
  set to dance to a song

Are the verbs sharp as linen,
  is your meaning like silk

Is delayed expectation

Bird In a Tux

I do not fly but waddle far.
For fun I slide on my tummy.
And if I have my eye on a mate
I'll feed them fishes so yummy!

Singing a love song is common for me.
To attract a mate I'll croon.
And if I leave the colony sometime
I'll surely be back soon.

Under the water I really can't breathe.
But can
