The Ballpoint Penguins

The BALLPOINT PENGUINS, black and white,

Do little else but write and write,

Although they've nothing much to say

They write and write it anyway.

The BALLPOINT PENGUINS do not think,

They simply write with endless ink.

They write of ice, they write of snow,

For that is all they seem to know.

At times these shy and silent birds

Will verbally express their words.

But mostly they do not recite --

They aim their beaks and write and write.
