    Dead Penguins

    Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica - where do they go?

    Wonder no more!!!

    It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life.


    The penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for life, as well as maintaining a form of compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life.


    If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into and buried.


    The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing:


    "freeze a jolly good fellow."


    " Then they kick him in the ice hole."

    BadFlash,

    Where have you been or is your mind slipping worse than mine??

    A limerick is a five-line poem with a strict form, originally popularized in English by Edward Lear, which intends to be witty or humorous, and is sometimes obscene with humorous intent.

    And below is the one that I posted and below it is a couple more for your purusal

    A flea and a fly in a flue
    Were imprisoned, so what could they do?
    Said the flea, “let us fly."
    Said the fly, “let us flee”
    So they flew through a flaw in the flue.
    note: (a flue is a chimney for those of you who don't remember)

    another:

    There was an old lady from Kent

    Whose nose was badly bent.

    She followed it one day

    so they say,

    and she hasn't been seen since.
    (so where would you end up if you followed your nose )

    and yet another:

    The limerick packs laughs anatomical

    In space that is quite economical,

    But the good ones I've seen

    So seldom are clean,

    And the clean ones so seldom are comical.
