Bear In There
Shel Silverstein
There's a Polar Bear
In our Frigidaire--
He likes it 'cause it's cold in there.
With his seat in the meat
And his face in the fish
And his big hairy paws
In the buttery dish,
He's nibbling the noodles,
He's munching the rice,
He's slurping the soda,
He's licking the ice.
And he lets out a roar
If you open the door.
And it gives me a scare
To know he's in there--
That Polary Bear
In our Fridgitydaire.

The Polar Bear
Jack Prelutsky
The polar bear by being white
Gives up his camouflage at night.
And yet, without a thought or care,
He wanders here, meanders there,
And gaily treads the icy floes
Completely unconcened with foes.
For after dark nobody dares
To set out after polar bears.

Polar Bear
(to the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean")
The polar bear lives in Alaska,
He never gets cold in a storm,
He swims in cold icy water,
His heavy coat keeps him warm.
Warm, warm, warm, warm,
His heavy coat keeps him warm.
Warm, warm, warm, warm,
His heavy coat keeps him warm.

Bear Coat
Leland B. Jacobs
The polar bear, the polar bear
He has a handsome coat to wear
But while it's thick and warm and white
He has to wear it day and night
And when the summer comes poor brute
He wears it for his swimming suit
Although his coat is thought so fine
I'm very glad that it's not mine.

Polar Bear
William Jay Smith
The polar bear never makes his bed;
He sleeps on a cake of ice instead.
He has no blanket, no quilt, no sheet
Except the rain and snow and sleet.
He drifts about on a white ice floe
While cold winds howl and blizzards blow
And the temperature drops to forty below.
The polar bear never makes his bed;
The blanket he pulls up over his head
Is lined with soft and feathery snow.
If ever he rose and turned on the light,
He would find a world of bathtub white,
And icebergs floating through the night.
