 I wish to fly

In the sky so high

But you know,

I’m a penguin [1]

 

I don’t have wings

I can only swim,

I only catch fish

And make it my dish [2]

 

I really want to fly

Like the other birds do,

They have pretty wings

And colors in them too [3]

 

But what to do,

I live where there’s snow

Anywhere else

Can’t I go [4]

 

Why can’t I fly?

Should I really try?

Maybe I should,

But I’m little shy [5]

 

If I could really fly,

Then will I be famous?

Because I’ll be the only

Penguin to fly [6]

 

Alas! I tried,

But I couldn’t fly

Instead I fell to the ground

And hurt my knee [7]

 

Now I know that 

Penguins can’t fly,

They don’t have wings

And that is why [8]
