Polar Bear’s Ice
A polar bear on ice so white,
Walking softly, day and night.
The ice is melting, drip, drip, drip,
Splash goes water—slip, slip, slip.
“Where’s my home?” the bear might say,
“It’s getting smaller every day.”
He looks for fish, he looks around,
But less and less ice can be found.
Let’s help the Earth, both you and me,
To keep the ice for bears to be.
