Where did all the penguins go? (contest)

by Run out of words   Aug 6, 2007


I walked out to the ice caps one day,
And my eyes popped out of their sockets.
I stared deeply into the sky,
And I saw black and white creatures on rockets.

It could've been aliens,
It could've been ghosts.
Mommy told me about them,
They put you into special little alien toasts.

I looked to the left,
And there was nothing there.
I looked to the right,
And I saw a polar bear.

So I ran and ran,
I ran my life away.
Luckily for me I always carried jam,
To feed me on a rainy day.

So I figured out what went wrong,
The aliens attacked our homes.
But one thing still intrigued my little penguin mind,
Why weren't the neighbors picking up their phones?

I knocked on each and every door,
But nobody chose to open.
I even tried to fly,
I tried so hard to soar.
But the weather was to cold to fly in.

I guess we penguins just can't fly,
The aliens must've known.
Speaking of penguins,
Where did all the penguins go?
It's been a while since they've shown.
