19 Penguin Complaints

Penguin Complaints

by Jo Shapcott

The place 

for a penguin 

is clearly

the fridge.

It's just 

a bit dark

that's all

One other 

complaint.

More fish, 

obviously,.

Your shopping

list needs

an overhaul.

Furthermore 

there's a

crowd round 

the ice

cube tray,

where polar bears

like to brawl.

But the place 

for a penguin

has to be

the fridge,

though it's 

too small

to sprawl,

if you're tall 

you have to crawl

and there's 

absolutely

nowhere

to lay

an egg.
