Cold

Dressed in black and white

Constantly carrying about

Swimming and fishing

Sliding and waddling

Little freedom to relax and enjoy

Penguins

Surviving


Hot

Swathed in a multitude of color

Busily bustling unceasingly

Learning, talking, working

Preparing for a future that may never occur

Over booked with no down time

Humans

Enduring


Why not live
