Recently I got a good giggle
watching this little penguin wiggle.
My dad and brother often tickled me
when little and it crippled me
while also filling me with glee
and minor fear that I would pee.
This penguin seems to know that feeling.
What a rare joy to hear his squealing!

My NaPoWriMo poem #23
very cute. Do they smell at that early age? I know when they get older they're quite odorous.
ReplyDeleteOh by the way, cute poem also
Ahh..the fear of being tickled.
ReplyDeleteMy sister and her friend use to tickle me when I was little, but I wasn't as lucky as you, most of the time I peed my pants!!

Penguins are awesome.
ReplyDeleteI once had a nightmare where I was part of a group being held prisoner by a bunch of penguins. They were going to execute me. I have no idea what that was supposed to mean.
My daughter loves this video. It is awfully adorable, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI hated being tickled as a child and still hate it.
Bryan WHite, that is one scary dream.
@Bryan - Holy cow! That is quite a dream.
ReplyDelete@Linda H - I have a love/hate relationship with tickling these days. I like that it reminds me of my dad and brother, but I still don't like the feeling of being tickled. :)
