Waddling
Bob-sleighing down the icy shoot,
With his plumy dinner suit,
Waddling on the frozen snow,
To the ocean down below,
Feathered body, flippered arm,
Flightless bird of polar climes,
Dinner to the orca pod,
Muncher of the Arctic cod.
With his plumy dinner suit,
Waddling on the frozen snow,
To the ocean down below,
Feathered body, flippered arm,
Flightless bird of polar climes,
Dinner to the orca pod,
Muncher of the Arctic cod.
