Any further mention of the penguins would be superfluous, including this one. Consequently, I would be most obliged if neither of us mentions them again… except in context, of course.
Well, now, having said that, though, there doesn’t seem much else to say today, beyond denying any involvement with, or by, any penguins in the issue of the day. However, such is the subtle nature of the penguin, they do have a habit of insinuating themselves into many a current affairs issue where one would not normally expect to see quite so many penguins.
Just by way of example, I’m sure such a person of wit, erudition, depth and perspicacity as someone who makes a habit of reading this… thing… will no doubt have noticed how there always seems to be at least a brace of penguins in the background when any politician is interviewed about the issue of the day on Parliament square. Of course, the penguins do go to elaborate lengths to remain unobtrusive, but by its very nature any attempt to seem unobtrusive always draws the attention and the penguins play upon this apparent paradox with all the wiliness we have come to expect from this very subtle flightless seabird.
