Hi everyone!
It has been way to long since I posted, but this cold weather and a certain info-graphic has inspired me to write another parody.
Here is the graphic:
(I've seen if on Facebook and someone I know said it's up at their work. Couldn't find copy right info on it though. Basically someone else made it, not me.)
Here is the song it reminded me of:
And here is my parody:
(I wrote it in basically one day as soon as I thought of it because I had to write it first before somebody else did!)
Walk like a Penguin
By Melody Beerbower
1-29-19
Tune: Walk like an Egyptian
All the cold winter days of gloom,
We have to walk through the ice and snow.
If you move to quick (oh way oh)
You’re fallin’ down like a domino.
All the weather men on TV
They say the cold just won’t relent.
Cold, walking folks, (oh way oh)
Could break their hips on the slick cement.
Science guys with their suits and ties say
“Stay home, stay home, stay-ay-ay hooooome.
Or walk like a Penguin.”
The drivers have to scrape their cars.
They’re spinning out as they hit black ice.
Forgot the milk (oh no no)
How do you think they make it from rice?
All the school children so sick of books.
They like days off, just wanna stay in.
When the bell rings (oh way oh)
They’re walking like penguins.
All the kids of the school age say,
“No school, no school, no-ooo-o school.”
Walk like a Penguin
Your center of gravity should be
On your front leg, not the back.
Winter’s hard you know (so much snow)
Make it better with this life hack.
If you want to learn how to walk right
Just watch the penguins cross the ice
They waddle, yes (oh so cute)
They never fall down (‘cept once or twice.)
Document’ries show how they win
And Cumberbatch can’t say “penguin”
And Eskimos (oh way oh)
They march in a line like penguins.
All the news in recent issues say,
“Stay home, stay home, stay-ay-ay hooome.”
Or walk like a Penguin.
Walk like a Penguin…
Be careful out there on the ice! But for today, probably just stay inside. :)
