The Penguin --- break ---

There he stood at my door,
A smirk upon his face,
"What do you want?"
I shouted.
A stony silence ensued,
My frown began to spread,
We looked at each other,
A smile came from nowhere,
The smile became a grin,
Became laughter,
With all my heart and all my soul,
I laughed out loud.
The penguin vanished,
And in its place she stood,
The question remained the same,
I smiled and hugged her.
And the penguin?
Well he was only a little penguin.
