Mary the Fairy Penguin and the Nerd from Norristown

Once upon a time
There lived a very nerdy boy
His given name was Dustin
But he preferred to be called Roy

He wantd to rule a city
And he once came very close
But happily he was stopped
By a penguin we all know

This very special penguin
Had the pretty name of Mary
She was a lot like other penguins
Except for one thing: she was a fairy

And one day she was called
To a place called Norristown
Where she was told there was a nerd
Who needed to be brought down

The nerd's name was Roy
And he was shooting people for fun
"With what?" the penguin Mary asked
She was gravely told, "His torpedo gun."

"Oh no!" thought Mary sadly
"He can't take people's lives!
And in order to stop this monster,
To Norristown I must fly!"

So she headed to Pennsylvania
To contravene this man
And when she arrived, she fetched a friend--
A zoo penguin called Dan

They found Roy in a flower store
Sneezing on the tulips
Around him were the bodies
Of several fainted kids

This infuriated Mary,
For she really loved the young
So she walked up to the villain
Without any trepidation

Mary took his hefty gun
While he was not looking
But the gun weighed quite a lot
And it fractured her right wing

Mary felt such extreme pain
Like she had never felt before
It was so incredibly bad
That she almost left the store

But Mary stayed, for she knew
That his misconduct must soon cease
So she used her fairy powers
To restore the peace

Roy the nerd was sent to jail
(Eighty years without parole)
And Mary was nearly done restoring kids
When along came the animal patrol

The penguin-catchers came
And took Mary and Dan to the zoo
A keeper with an ingrown toenail
Came once a day to give them food

So that is the sad story
Of how Mary was put behind bars
And to find out what happens next
You don't have to go too far:
