Penguin Called Dave

Dave is a penguin. He's a really nice guy!
Though other birds laugh at him, 'cos he can't fly.
But swimming and playing, he's as glad as he can be,
when he's with his best friend a young seal called Tandi.

One day, when the Queen's birthday present got lost,
Dave dove in to save it, whatever the cost!
There were sharks in the water, all eager to bite,
but Dave went on bravely in spite of his fright from him!

This is the tale of how Dave saved the day,
and made himself lots of new friends on the way!
