It was the day the ice cap began to melt
There I was minding my own business, and then I felt
This rushing sensation by my side
And I knew that there was no place to hide
The blast of air made my poor nose sneeze!
And the iciness made my poor chest wheeze!
This hefty Polar bear came from nowhere
Slipping and sliding so fast, a sight so rare
He torpedoed straight into the melting snow
And I thought this was the end, I'm a Gonna you know
With trepidation I went forward to see if he was alright,
And what I saw, was a horrendous sight,
This bear was surely ailing a little
With ingrown toe nails the sharpest knife could not whittle
I approached him, scared witless, in case he was alive
For knowing this bear he could skin me ALIVE!
I was just about to see if he was OK!
When out of the blue I heard a voice say
"Hey You, what you doing with that bear"?
"Good God its the cops, I swear".
"I did not do nothing, He came dashing by"
"And I think he's fractured his leg" I said with a sigh
"I'm taking you in, for misconduct" he said
"What have I done" this poor penguin went red!
"You have contravened the act of not reporting this felony"
"And you now have made the state your enemy"
"What about my wife her name is Tulip"
"She will wonder where I am, I was only going for a dip"
"Wow! I wish I'd never come out today,
Cos' minding your own business doesn't pay"
Watch out for polar bears sliding around,
Cos' you could be like me, and end in the pound!
