PAPA PENGUIN
©2012 Gary Bowman

Winter looms, On polar cap               
Penguins start a family
With gentle care, This egg is shared
Then Mama marches off to the sea
Papas huddle ‘gainst  the cold
Blizzards, wind and snow     
This, my child, is my love, for you
That’s what Papa Penguins do

Nestled in Papa’s cozy pouch,
Outside it’s 80 below 
Perched on Papa’s tilted feet,                        
Within your shell, you grow  
Yeah, Papa’s gonna keep you warm
And, keep you from all harm 
Child, it’s true, and it’s all for you                
That’s what Papa Penguins do

A peck, a kick, Emerging chick         
Celebrate this day!
Belly slides, Icy rides             
It’s fun to watch you play
Now, it’s time for Pops to go
Mama’s gonna watch the show
Soon, my child, I’ll come back home to you
That’s what Papa Penguins do
That’s what Papa Penguins do
