I was paddling through the penguins
When the battle planes flew o'er
I fell; could not get up, although
I made it safe to shore

The penguins fell like dominoes
From staring in the air
They bounced back up, took all my clothes,
And left me, flattened, bare

A stripper, me? -I'm much too plain,
But, with my great left hip
I catch a lot of planes -- I am,
At least, their landing strip!

I wrote this a while ago as a response to a challenge at a former writers' site. It was based on a weird photograph.

As for penguins falling over, I hear that this happens when planes fly over and they stare up at them, but...sounds doubtful, to me.
