The Penguin Dance

The Penguin Dance



Hey, here is some ice, lets have fun
Come my little penguins.. run, run, run
Raise one foot in the air, throw out your wing
Let everybody hear you sing, sing, sing
Follow the leader down to the creek
As the baby penguins go squeak, squeak, squeak
Twenty little penguins all in a row
Momma Penguin seems to know, know, know..

(How to do...)

The Penguin Dance, ooh the Penguin Dance
Everybody does the Penguin Dance
It may seem crazy at first glance
But don't be lazy, do the Penguin Dance

When you waddle around,
Your flippers on the ground
Then you make a sound
As you all get down..

..To the Penguin Dance, ooh the Penguin Dance
Look at those penguins doing the Penguin Dance
There is nothing like it in Paris France..

Or anywhere else in the World..
(Did you see that penguin when he twirled?)

He was doing the Penguin Dance...





Get off the couch and come to the lake
It's time you took a break, break, break
From all those cartoons on your TV
There is something here you should see, see, see
See the penguin jump, see the penguin flip
See the baby penguins all trip, trip, trip
See that one fall, see that one skate
All the penguins can't wait, wait, wait...


(To do the...)

The Penguin Dance, ooh the Penguin Dance
Everybody does the Penguin Dance
They skate on thin ice, they take a chance
They don't think twice when they do the Penguin Dance

As they jump in the air,
With such a flair
Who knows why they wear
Tuxedos out there..


As they do the Penguin Dance, ooh the Penguin Dance
Look at those penguins doing the Penguin Dance
People stop and stare like they are in a trance..

But what they really want to know..
Is where do they go...

To learn the Penguin Dance
(It's not taught anywhere..)
The Penguin Dance
(You should beware..)
The Penguin Dance
(Nothing can compare..)

To the Penguin Dance...

WEEEEE!! Daniel, this is amazing. I need my dancing shoes right now. You are able to create such joyful images without missing a beat. The flow is amazing. Lita

This reminded me of "Happy Feet" bro. It's refreshing to see you posting in this board. You have such a talented, poetic pen, and this proves it. I think you could seriously write about anything. ***Applause*** Thanks for bringing a smile to my face and joy to my heart today. I needed it more than you'll ever know.

thank you Penny and Stacy, I am glad you enjoyed the Penguin Dance..

This would not exist, however, had not been for Kerry, she has been teaching the penguin dance to baby penguins for years.. Really, you can watch her dancing with baby penguins at www.watchkerrydancewithpenguins.com. That is her in the black and white tuxedo being chased around the pond by...

okay, I made that part up..

You didn't honestly click on that did you?

It's true, however, that she did inspire me to write this.

It was her idea to write a poem for the children's challenge and I thought it sounded like fun.
Her poem, Charley the cheeky monkey, is really neat and if you haven't read it yet, you are missing out on a great story.

take care,

Daniel

Daniel;

Absolutely everything a childrens poem should be. 'Penguine's Dance' is lively and fun all the way through. No lags, no bumps, it should hold interest and invitation beginning to end. Though far from a child, I enjoyed the movement and spectacle... kudos.
