XVI penguins

Oh penguins you make my heart explode.
Though thou art' flightless, you give my soul wings!
Your fashion sense I wish I could upload
For everyone I know who needs dressing.
Analysis called "morphological"
Is quite confounded by your history,
What ancient strata made you choose to fall
Down from the air into the cold blue sea?
In children's books you really do excel,
When paired with Popper, Elliot, or fish,
You slide and squawk and dance so very well,
And always with such formal grand, paniche...
    Ah, you dapper famly' Spheniscidae,
    Your dapper monochrome quite simply thrills me.






Because A said "Penguins!" when I asked.
And we'd been reading this book:
