Mary had a Little Penguin



Mary had a Little Penguin 

by NJS Infants


Mary had a little penguin
It’s tummy was all white.
It followed her to school one day
And gave the teacher a fright.

The penguin was not happy
He sat in teacher’s seat.
The infants all sang a song
Then he danced like Happy Feet!
