Who, or what,  is the Pauper Penguin?

While in Syria, I received a gift from a tiny antique shop: a two-inch brass penguin.  It quickly became my constant traveling companion, becoming known to my fellow travelers as the Pauper Penguin, for our stingy mode of travel and often austere lodgings.
 
PP was always ready with a hearty, "Hello, Tourist!" and even had the great fortune of seeing former First Lady Hillary Clinton and First Daughter Chelsea at the opening of a new museum exhibit in Aswan, Egypt. 

 The Three Little Pigs

and a Case of Mistaken Identity

 

Three little pigs who hailed from East Macon

(Think you know where I’m going with this?)

Met a sleeping prince and thought he was fakin’.

A memory stirred, so they gave him a kiss,

But the comatose dude just wouldn’t awaken.

 

Now everyone knows that a smooch has a duty

To rouse every charmed sleeping beauty.

But the pigs should have known

From the man’s pasty skin tone

That the last thing he was was a cutie.

 

So departed those pigs from East Macon,

While Mister van Winkle kept dreaming of bacon.
