I KEEP A PENGUIN
IN MY POCKET

I Keep a Penguin in my Pocket

I keep a penguin in my pocket

     By why, I cannot tell.

He’s happy travelling round with me

     And penguins never smell.

 

I keep a penguin in my pocket.

     You’d never know it’s there,

Though when it peeps outside, my word!

     Well, people start to stare!      

 

I keep a penguin in my pocket,

    But the children all tell me

They think that I am rather cruel

      For penguins like the sea.

 

I keep a penguin in my pocket,

     And I expect that you do too.

It helps me write the daftest poems

     When there’s little else to do.
