A most gracefully bird, but not of the air White caped waves are his clouds Water proof feathers is what he wears He stands on the beach mighty proud His wings won't let him fly But through the ocean he quickly glides You'll never see him in the sky Behind the corral is where he hids When lion seals are on the prowl His play ground is a winter wonderland He is by far the best dressed fowl With his dashing tuxedo he looks mighty grand By design he was denied freedom of fight But that my friend doesn't make him sad For in the ocean so deep he reaches new heights The icy slides are his launch pad He certainly is a wonderful bird To call him anything else would be absurd
