HOW TO BE A PENGUIN

My feet are killing me!These are NOT "Happy Feet"
Do you know how many penguins are unemployed?
What with all those waddling round in fake fur suits
not even dressed like Emperors..Houston..we have a problem!
And do not even mention Mr Poppers Penguins-
they are as digital as dishwater and just as brainwashing
WE ARE NOT CUTE! I do not care how many nature documentaries
with sedative syrupy saccharine soundtracks are made for Hollywood
we exist in a cool space and our icebergs are NOT owned by Coca-Cola!
Coke bottles float by from cruise ships-but they remain (like us)trapped in Antarctic-
as ice floes crack and break off bound for new Titanics
It may be cool to be a penguin-but please think of the real ones.!
They would much prefer to live in peace-sans submarines,scientists,surveys and surveillance satellites
I guess most humans would too.How would you like to swap suits?
