THRENODY

In Plimmerton, in Plimmerton,
The little penguins play,
And one dead albatross was found
At Karehana Bay.

In Plimmerton, in Plimmerton,
The seabirds haunt the cave,
And often in the summertime
The penguins ride the wave.

In Plimmerton, in Plimmerton,
The penguins live, they say,
But one dead albatross they found
At Karehana Bay.

Denis Glover

In honour of going out to Plimmerton beach for our morning walk! (We didn't see any albatrosses or penguins, though.)

There are gulls which are a bit like small albatrosses. It looks a lovely place for a walk.
In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.
