The Adelie Penguin
Way down south, clear to the South Pole
Where it is rocky, icy and cold
Live many penguins small in size
With white circles around their eyes
Wear a “tux,” black back and white chest
Hike or slide to their rocky nests
Strong pink feet, bumpy nails are nice
To climb cliffs, push and slide on ice
Sociable, live in colonies
Communicate in “penguinese”
Hunt together for fish and krill,
Mollusks and squid, they take
their fill
Chicks hatch out using their egg tooth
Then congregate in little groups
Male and female care for their young
Who fend for themselves in three months
