Antarctica
The Feeding Grounds...
Private: *sits isolated from the group, looking at the water, thinking*
I can't believe this happened. I lost my Dad before I even knew him...Now my Mom is gone too. All I have left is Uncle Nigel. And he's gone most of the time. I wonder what happened to her--WAIT! I don't even want to know. Why? Why did u have to go. Why couldn't u have stayed. I wish u were here. Oh, how I wish u were here....
Steve: "Hey, Private. u feel like playing?"
Private: "Sorry guys. I'm just not in the mood right now. Maybe later."
Jake: "Hey, sorry about your mom, dude. She was cool."
Private: "Thanks." *friends leave*
*Nigel approaches*
Nigel: "Hello, old chap. How are u holding up?"
Private: "I'm still pretty shooken up. I just can't believe she's gone."
Nigel: "I know, I know. I am too. We just have to stay strong. That's what she would've wanted..."
Private: "I know. Uncle Nigel, what was my dad like?"
Nigel: "Ah. A good young fellow he was. He took good care of your mother. He was honest, kind. u would've liked him."
Private: "What did he like doing?"
Nigel: "He liked talking, walking. But as long as he was with your mother, he was happy."
Private: "What am I supposed to do now?"
Nigel: "...Private...There's something I should've told you...a long time ago. Follow me. We can't talk here."
Private: *follows Nigel*
Nigel: *leads him out of earshot from the flock* "Listen Private, when I'm away, I'm not...exactly...feeding the children like I zei I was..."
Private: "You lied? Then what do u do?"
Nigel: "Well...I sort of...I kind of...I..."
Private: "What do u do!?"
Nigel: "Sssssshhhh! Look, what I'm trying to say is...Private, I'm a secret agent."
Private: "You're a what!?"
Nigel: *places his flipper over his beak* "Will u lower your voice!? I'm a secret agent, Private."
Private: *whispering* "Why didn't u tell me? u know u can trust me!"
Nigel: "I know I can boy. It's just that I didn't want to put your life at risk."
Private: "And u tell me this now because...?"
Nigel: "I think it's time I teach u how to defend yourself."
Private: "Defend myself? From what?"
Nigel: *not wanting to tell him about what happened to his mother, he says* "Just in case, my boy. Just in case..."
Private: "Just in case of what? Does this have something to do with what happened to my mother?"
Nigel: "No, dear boy. u just...never know when something might happen. Are u in?"
Private: "...When do we start?"
2 Years Later...
Private: Uncle Nigel's has left the flock. He's taken his position as a secret agent worldwide. He zei something about wanting to catch some kind of squirrel. He's taught me so much the past 2 years. Defense, strategy. I now know everything he knows & it's my job to protect the flock. So what if I'm 13. I'm gonna have to do what a penguin's got to do...

My Collection of POM Haikus:
I can't sleep well one night and I made haikus to make me fall asleep. And here are the results....!
These are haikus that describe the penguins, the lemurs, and Marlene. I did it just for fun, nothing else!
Skipper, the leader,
Commands recons dag and night;
Never swim alone.
K'walski, the smart one,
Best known as the "Options Guy";
Good golly wolly!
Rico has no doubt
He's the living wrecking ball;
Boom! Blam! Kablamo!
Private, the youngest
Loves unicorns and rainbows;
Winkies, ev'rywhere!
Julien, the royal
Puts his trust to sky spirits;
My moves are yummy!
Maurice, the aye-aye
Always serves the so-called king;
Wait-uh, what? Say what?!
Mort, the muis lemur
Can't get over Julien's feet;
I vraag nothing!
Marlene, the otter's
Independent from both sides;
Yeah, have fun with that!
