Through the vast tracts of space A Shuttle flies a breakneck pace Through the ever-present Cold Searching for a planet old This planet of Ice and Snow and Rock Contains a rather surprising Shock A family of penguins red, Fantastic caps upon their heads Only but one time each year They leave their planet to spread good cheer Flying on a slay of Green An odder sight cannot be seen If this sight you wish to purvey Listen close to what I say Wrap up tight inside your bed, Leave a plate of Herring Heads If you're good your gift you name If you're bad, they give you flame Your wishes might well come true As they leave a gift for you Remember this warning true lest fire and flames come to you Also I should mention Despite a little apprehension If you indeed are roasted Are charred, burned, or lightly toasted Don't seek revenge on the penguins red Don't seek their green flying sled Just let their lesson keep you warm You survived and you are safe from harm This last tidbit may change your mood These penguins only cook their food So take it well, know you are beaten It's still better than being eaten.
I'm currently trying to find a way to delete this, as in my eagerness I had not realized someone else used this title [Sorry about that, as it wasn't intended]. I will delete this and remake it as soon as I figure out how.
You'll have to ask a mod to help you out for this! Remember to select [Poem] from the drop-down menu when you remake it! Great poem though, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
If you don't want to remake it, just let me (or another staff member know) what title you'd like and we'll change it for you. Nice poem, by the way. The two last lines are amusing.
Sorry, I need to withdraw this . I have been too ill to complete it at present. Although it may find its way to another forum on completion. If one of the moderators could delete this I would appreciate it. I would prefer not to leave something half finished.
