Most of Our Penguins are Scotch-Taped Now
Civilization is sometimes held together
By the stern parsimony of Scotch Tape™
Which locks tattered covers and pages in bond
To await opening by old hands or young
Young is better; for we were young, and too
The world was young, and is, as Camelot
Sends forth each day noble adventures, ideas 1
In battle luminous against chaos and evil
Civilization is always held together
When old and young face the dragon in unity
1 An allusion to Tennyson’s Idylls of the King
