Dream of a Penguin

There once was a penguin named Ed
Fish is what he loved to be fed

He loved to laugh, he loved to play
So with his friends, he'd swim all day

He'd swim from morning 'til afternoon
He'd swim in the light of the stars and moon

He'd swim in water deep and blue
He'd swim where it was shallow too

He thought he could swim anywhere
But then he though, "What about air?"

He looked up and he saw birds fly
High up in the endless sky

He wished that he could fly there too
Up into the sky so blue

He closed his eyes and dreamt out loud
Of drifting through those fluffy clouds

He dreamt of flying to the moon
He dreamt of flying all afternoon

But in his dream he began to fall
He wasn't flying, not at all

He hit the ground and then awoke
He thought it was his wings he broke

But when he saw he was okay
He jumped in the water and swam all day

He's glad he's home, he likes it there
He feels much safer than in the air

Now Ed knows what it's like to fly
And he'd rather swim in water, than swim in the sky
