The penguin slides up and hits back with some smooth lines:
"Hold up, big bear, you’re lookin' pretty cold, All that muscle, but your moves are old. I may be snack-sized, but I got the speed, While you trudge on slow, yeah, I’m built for speed.
South Pole rockin’, with my squad in black-tie, We got style and chill, I don’t even gotta try. Sure, you’re big, got the teeth and the claws, But I slide on ice like I’m breakin’ laws.
You’re the king of frost, but I’m the duke of dive, Graceful underwater, yeah, I thrive. I got the waddle, got the groove, got the scene, While you’re out there solo, tryna act mean.
Snack-sized? Yeah, but I got the flavor, A penguin’s chill vibe, something to savor. So back up, Ice King, take a bow and freeze, 'Cause this bird’s got heat—you’re out in the breeze!"

"A whimsical and romantic cover art for a young adult novel titled 'The Cheese Salesman and The Dairy Girl'. The scene depicts a charming cheese market in a quaint European village. A young, handsome cheese salesman stands at his stall, surrounded by various artisan cheeses. Opposite him, a young, beautiful dairy girl, carrying a basket of fresh milk bottles, gazes at him. They are exchanging shy smiles, suggesting a blossoming romance. The background shows cobblestone streets, bustling with village life and old-world charm. The title, 'The Cheese Salesman and The Dairy Girl', is elegantly written at the top in a romantic font. The overall feel is warm, inviting, and picturesque, evoking the feeling of a heartwarming romantic tale."
I liked it because of the ambivalence.
Death is not looking at the child, He stares at the angel of life as if he is waiting.
You could interpret it this way:
The angel of Life is protecting the child or, in a bigger view, every person from death. If the angel of life abandons us, we enter the domain of death.
I was not trying to go towards a biblical intepretation and i do not see death as evil. Maybe the choice of an angel for "life" was not the best choice.
Edit after a night of Sleep: It is interesting how hard wired religious themes are in ones subconcious. I wonder how i would have depicted life and death with another cultural background.
