Kaolin baths

A penguin cannot climb a tree,
It has no tail and thus would be
The black and white epitome
Of failure in ascendancy

By contrast, monkeys in the sea
(Except the surfing chimpanzee,
The one from Californiee)
Are pinnacles of primacy

So monkeys win, as oft they do
In contests of the species zoo-
ological, but answer who
has seen a penguin flinging poo?
