“Humbug!” huffed the hill’s haughtiest Humboldt.

“Neither King nor Royal nor Emperor”

“Nor even most trusted apparitor”

“Shall enforce any dubious decree”

“That I hop right into this icy sea—”

“For I am penguin avowed to the land”

“Regardless of a demented demand,”

“So ‘til the case of yonder’s wild, wild wet”

“Is cleared of each lion and sharky fret,”

“I shall stand ground as the rebel of rock”

“Until time of tide’s very last tick-tock.”

“Bah!” retorted the Spheniscus *scofflaw*. ; )
