I’m a penguin, short and stout.
Fleecy feathers keep cold out.
Diving, swimming in the sea,
I am catching fish for tea.
Looking upward, ice is white,
Sharks are coming, they can bite!
Must get home fast, leap to land,
Tummy wriggle to my stand.
Sleeping standing on the snow.
Friends are with me in a row,
I’m a penguin, short and stout.
Fleecy feathers keep cold out.
