Penguins, Popsicles and Polar Bears
Astronauts were packing it in.
Wrapping up a long mission
when the ships sensors had a vision.
Beyond the hill of ice.
On a planet deemed to have no life.
A sign of life before them
beyond the hill were penguins.
Sliding down the peak
with Popsicles in their beaks.
A bundle over polar bears
sat watching in folding chairs
on the planet of Coldairus.

Sadie the aquafox
Sadie the aquafox leaps from the lake
giving its body a shake
A boy throws a ball
the aquafox takes chase
The ball lands behind the shed
aquafox stretches its legs
across the bright green lawn
Zigging and zagging to fetch

elk-horn bear
a bear with the antlers of an elk
slumbers on glacier ice
swimming in the arctic
cranks up the phonograph
blares heavy metal music
for the heavy metal riffs
the bear wakes up at sunrise
paws a bundle of fish
elk-horn bear dances
dances the Earth apart
the glaciers fall into the water
causing the tides to surge
