He must have taken a wrong turn-
And, the idea, of lost, caused much concern.
.
He landed on the New Zealand shore-
When he was spotted, he caused quite a roar.
.
For this far away, from home, it had been at
least 44 years-
Since an Emperor penguin, such as he, had
been spotted, but, it still brought cheers.
.
But, what to do with him, no one did not know-
Surely, nature taking its course, would be the
way to go.
.
Where he came from was dark 24 hours a day-
It just wasn’t natural for humans, to head that
way.
.
He had been eating sand, probably thinking it
was snow-
It would be several weeks before his hunger,
would once again grow.
.
In the meantime, the world is enjoying his
plight-
Perhaps one day, he will return on an
outgoing flight.
.
Antarctica, lost one of its own-
With the Emperor penguin, temporarily
being a special guest, via a New Zealand loan.
.
He must have taken a wrong turn-
And, the idea, of lost, caused much concern.
