Penguins do not always behave properly.

There are some lessons they must learn.

 

A penguin, showing how to dance,

Must let others have a chance

And not show off and steal the show.

He should let others have a go.

If our Pink Rabbit wants a turn

He should teach the steps and let her learn.

 

A penguin sitting down to read

Should be very quiet indeed,

No squeaking, squawking, growl nor coff.

No snoring if he dozes off,

And, practising his bookish arts,

Must cover up his private parts.

If you must do that, please wear some underpants!

A penguin, going out to skate,

Should practice and not hesitate

To shine the skates upon his feet,

Keeping tidy, smart and neat.

If he may fall and have a slip

He should wear trousers, with a zip.

 

 

If he is going off to ski

He must retain his dignity.

To cover up his lower half

What better than a woolly scarf?

In public places, day or night,

He must always do what is polite.

 

When Zipper shovels up the snow

His private parts must never show,

Then when he clears away the path

The other creatures will not laugh

But say: "He is so very nice,

"To clear away the slippery ice."

 

Zipper is brave and does not cry,

Though sad with tiny tears in eye,

 However hard our friend might try,

(And he is just as clever as you or I),

He sees the birds up in the sky

And knows that he can never fly.
