Lenguin the penguin looked up and he said:
"I’d just love to fly like the birds overhead.
I wish I could sit in the tall trees and see
The world as it passes below, under me."
The birds overhead looked down at the sand
"Oh surely a life in the sea would be grand!
Lenguin waddles along from his nest to the sea
Then dives off on adventures, so happy and free."
Lenguin just thought “How exciting to fly –
To look at the world from high up in the sky.
To circle the world from above is my wish –
Not gliding and diving to catch boring fish."
Penguins have wings, but they can’t really fly.
They awkwardly waddle on land where it’s dry.
Yet once in the water they glide very fast
And catch tasty meals as the fishes swim past.
Penguin’s keep warm in all winds and all weathers
By layers of blubber and their warm cosy feathers.
With their wings and their feet they paddle so fast
And return with fish meals for their families at last.
God made the birds for both sea and the sky –
He made birds that show off, whilst others are shy.
Some live in warm places, some live where it’s cold,
But all of God’s birds are so nice to behold.
