But the Constable wasn’t in trouble, because he successfully appealed to the Inspector’s boss, the Sheriff of Nottingham.
There’s a penguin on the road
His brain is squirmin’ like a toad
Take an Arctic holiday
Let your penguins play
If you give this bird a ride, some fish are gonna die

Update: Nottingham authorities said a walrus named Chumley has contacted them inquiring about the whereabouts of his friend.
This happened in Japan recently, too.
Burma!
…but it turned out that the nattily-dressed penguin was from Hoboken all along.

Good thing that’s not the penguin the constables encountered.
