the ballpoint penguins
,
black and white,
Do little else but write and write.
Although they've nothing much to say,
They write and write it anyway,
The do not think,
They simply write with endless ink.
they write of ice, they write of snow,
For that is all they seem to know.
At times, these shy and silent birds
Will verbally express their words.
but mostly they do not recite–
They aim their beaks and
write and write.
