Some live in darkness some live in light
Most are peace-loving creatures, but some love to fight
Some go to peace marches and wave banners and flags
Some just argue and some sort of nag
Penguins keep secrets, you might ask them what?
They will look at you blankly and then scream quite a lot
They will gather around you and then start to sneeze
Then you hear the leader, under his breath say ‘Geez’
Penguins range in intelligence, it is actually a fact
Some just smile and ask what is that
Some dont care about much anything at all
Intelligence is only a word after all
Penguins love driving, some golf and some cars
Some combine both, some drive into bars
Some Penguins love Beemers, some just stick to Fords
Some drive so fast they end up in wards
Penguins love rainbows, they look up and smile
Their eyes close over and they sit for a while
Then they all start to hum a Rolling Stone tune
until at least the thirteenth of June.
Penguins love movies, they watch them all night
They’ll argue their merits until there’s a fight
They’ll memorise titles and favourite lines
Until they’re asleep or badley maligned
