Premium Member Book 1: Secret Penguin Lament
The sky was cold and grey, when, yesterday, you told me where the Secret Penguin lay. In bygone years, they say, he was a sight, the avian conundrum in black and white. Operating in ice-cold, frozen stealth, he redistributed the ocean's wealth. Some say he went down in a bullet hail, trying to save a hunted humpback whale. His...

Premium Member My cat's mascot
I don't follow many sports. I'm boring you see. Samantha, my cat, does apparently. In these Pennsylvania winters of snow and ice, I may have watched hockey, once or twice. I had a penguin ornament on my Christmas tree, which suddenly vanished mysteriously.. It was as cute as it could be, with a little Santa hat and scarf to greet me. Some time ago...

She said she saw a walrus, On the living room floor, But all I saw was an elephant, Standing at the door. She said she saw a blunderbuss, Aiming right at me, But all I saw was the last thing, That I did...

When you dive in the water and porpoise around, jumping back on your feet when you land on the ground, it’s a penguin I’d be, if a bird I would choose, wearing dinner-suit feathers and flappy pink shoes. ...
