Two Cold Penguins
I met two penguins when I walked down the road One was called Jim and the
other known as Bode There was something different about these two They seamed a different colour, a very light blue They
were suffering from the cold. But they’re penguins you say For these to penguins had lost there way They had
traveled all the way from the South Pole And this being the north was way too cold So I said to my two dear penguin
friends Why not come in here until winter ends Now Jim and Bode, as he likes to be known Couldn’t refuse
and sat down where they were shown Now, my house was very petite So, it was hard to find room for everyone to sleep
But I solved that problem by sleeping out side And to my dismay I found out they’d lied They were not from
the south but from quite near And were homeless and needed to stay here So upon hearing this news I marched right
in And told them to go and to lie is to sin They marched rite out. Didn’t say a word And of those two penguins
I never herd Another single sentence out of the mouth Of the two cold penguins NOT from the south
