There’s something that’s been puzzling me
I’ve got to let it out.
Do Nuns look just like penguins
or t’other way about?
I don’t think I’ve been close enough 
to either one to tell,
can anybody help me here? 
It’s scaring me to Hell.
If Nuns all look like penguins 
I suppose that’s kind of fun.
But it would be quite worrying
if penguins look like Nuns.
I’m serious please hear me out
hang on to every word.
The Holy Church could soon be full
of sneaky flightless birds!
My brain is all in turmoil 
and my mind just runs and runs.
Do Nuns look just like penguins
or do penguins look like Nuns?
