Sample Text:
"Way down south, by the frosty, frozen sea...
a waddling little penguin was as "waddly" as can be!
He waddled near an albatross,
and by a big, blue whale.
He waddled past a porpoise
with a splishy-splashy tail! (YIKES!)
He waddled on an orca,
and above a hefty seal...
He waddled by a humback whale
whose splash was very real--WHOA!
(You get the idea!)
