They have wings but cannot fly. They’re birds that think they’re fish. And every year, they embark on a nearly impossible journey to find a mate. For twenty days and twenty nights the emperor penguin will march to a place so extreme it supports no other life. In the harshest place on Earth love finds a way.

One man may seem incompetent.  
Another not make sense.  
Well, others look like quite waste  
Of company expense.

So, please, don’t do them in  
Remember mediocrity  
Is not a mortal sin.
