A Penguin Named Dewey

There once was a Penguin named Dewey,
The thoughts in his head were all screwey,
He went to see a shrink,
Above a skating rink,
Turns out that it was simply ennui.

    Great job. I love limericks. Before I came to this site it was the only poetry that I did. Now, I don't do them as much.

    This is fun. I never treated a penguin, although I may have gone out with a few. Well done. Congrats on HM.

    SOUNDS FAMILIAR

    Well, I got a chuckle out of it ...

    but I wonder if people would who don't speak French.

    Anyway, this is a good job.

    Thanks for entering.
