A Bear's Poem

With bamboo as its favourite feast, the Panda is a loving beast
13,000 without a whine, that’s in feet this bear will climb
The Panda is a wondrous creature
With its wrist bone, bamboo grabbing feature
Being the smallest of its kind, the Sun Bear maybe hard to find
Meat it will occasionally eat, head held high not in defeat
With the beautiful pattern of the sun
Let’s hope they’ll breed, ones better than none
Helping her cub up a snow bank
The Polar Bear is on the endangered rank
Ice is melting where these bears roam
And if we’re not careful, they’ll have no home
It always seems that no-one cares
About the extinction of these bears
So let’s get together to save a bear
To show these creatures we really do care.
