The Penguins from Pluto are plotting away.
The Penguins from Pluto are having their say
They're coming to Earth on the 4th of July
To have a celebration, but no one knows why
The new Penguin dance, as they wiggle on snow
with black & white milkshakes, is some Penguin show
With monochrome waistcoats, and tall bowler hats
And brilliantly polished, black and white spats
When they arrive, they'll be joyful and gay
Cos the Penguins from Pluto are happy that way
They have their new rocket , its all black and white
Flown by the Emperor, a marvelous sight
On the 3rd of July, the Earth Penguins fished
To set out the party, with penguins' best dish
To welcome their neighbours, with mackerel and trout
And black and white milkshakes, all ready poured out
All were excited, and flags flew at height
Come the 4th of July, they were nowhere in sight ?
A search party left, but didn't get far
Which way to Pluto ? Can we get there by car ?
The Penguins were puzzled, and as time went by
All were agreed, there was something awry.....
The Penguin Postmistress, who delivered the cards
Had misread the post-code...It should have been Mars.

Penguins from Pluto... I don't think I have actually seen real penguins from earth lol
Nice rhyme and choice of words.. As i said before you are really good with children's stuff and I still suggest you put them all in a book!!

Aw! This is so cute! I really liked it. I loved the rhymes, it flowed effortlessly. I really liked the imagery as well. I think this should be in a children's picture book. Good job! Good luck in the contest!

Only on AP could something like this be written - and for a contest too. Novel, and funny too. Enjoyed the laugh.
-
This is great..I'm sorry to say that I don't think that it has much to do with a tea party, so don;t be put down if it doesn't do too well.But I do love it so much. The rhymes are all perfect and the whole thing flows so easily. You have definitly got the hang of rhyming couplets!
My favourite line is definitly
"The Penguin Postmistress, who delivered the cards
Had misread the post-code...It should have been Mars"
It's so true to life though, you plan something and have an event etc and then you find out that it's all wrong! I did that yesterday with a D.T project..anyway enough about that
Well done a great write, I'm sure it would win gold in the right contest.Thanks for the entry and good luck
Keep up the great writes!Anna xxx -
I fear they would find Earth a trifle too hot! For near absolute zero is their usual lot!¡
…And even on Mars on the chilliest day – the penguins from Pluto would just melt away!¡
-

WD There is no one who can write like this but you, i think that you know by now my thoughts on your work. The last one i read was about Mars This one Pluto. I cant wait to see what you do with Uranus
Great work as ever Good luck in the contest -
LOL! My god, it's almost like a limerick. The punch line at the end caught me off guard, and I almost snickered too loudly in this quite Uni computer room.
Somehow I like the repition of black and white milkshakes.
-
fantastic, funny and well written.
Lively free carefree and a foot tapping rhythm and meter that flows aut nicely to the end. Original and up to your usual great standard. -
