Fable A Penguin s Flight

A small malicious Penguin once decided
That he the smartest one was on his island.
The proposition being strange and controversial,
It was unanimously passed and put in motion.
“I’ll raise you from your knees up to the skies”
The Penguin, much obsessed,  yells, screams and cries.
“The flying strategy I will you quickly teach,
And Africa you easily will reach”.
Some of the flock raised an objection mildly
But their mugs were beaten fast and wildly.
Concerned were those Non-Penguins very much,
And their anxiety grew rapidly as such.
The Penguin said “I couldn’t care less,
We’ll fly where we’ll like it and will make a stress”.
“Into my flock I’ll all the feathered woo:
The penguin, ostrich, coon and kangaroo”.
And so he ran and jumped, stepped on the gas…
Much pain he gave to his well-known ass!
The Penguin proved he’s not much of a bird,
The whole flock, if followed him, could’ve been hurt.
Those born to fin should never try to fly
Disgraced and shamed, they make the public smile.
