Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Preening - LP Zoo

Preening - African penguins do,
A personal and social thing
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
So what's up with all this preening?
Waterproofing is needed, so
Oil from glands is spread all around
From beaks to feathers, head to toe,
For super swim when water bound.
"I will preen you, if you preen me,"
For help in those hard to reach spots,
A buddy preening system be
With social interaction lots.

A pecking penguin on the scene
Most likely is pecking to preen.
