Holy Penguins

Young Keith has a new hobby.  A group of six rockhopper penguins.  With their eyebrows and bumbling manner they remind us someone, but we can't quite work out who it is.  Possibly a former druid?  Or maybe the old Aspley Guise Methodist minister.
Young Keith is determined that the penguins be trained to take part in liturgical ritual.  He figures with their black and white outfits, their squawking  noises when upset and their habit of waddling as they walk, they'll be a dead cert as acolytes.  At the moment he's trying to get them to learn how to form the procession at Pouring out of Beakers, but he reckons with some in-depth training a few of them may be able to deliver a homily in a month or two.
