 PENGUINS

 

Penguins like it cold,

No matter where they go.

They glide over glaciers,

And slide through the snow.

 

Well dressed for the weather,

Penguins go out to play.

And they always tell each other,

“Have an ice day.”

As the penguins wish others an ice day,
I'm wishing you a nice day to go out and play!
Thanks for sharing, Michael!

That last line put the icing on the cake!

Whenever I think of penguins, all I can think about was my experience with them at Moody Gardens aquarium and Sea World. So many penguins in such close quarters have to eat and of course, get rid of it (poop). Anyway, they eat fish as their primary dietary source. When I was in those venues the smell was overpowering. Penguins may be cute in their tuxedos, but they need the open ocean to wash that uncooked fish smell that hangs on their feathers!
