forest hut

The North Pole
Was just ice and sea
Was so cold
Had a cup of hot tea

Saw a polar bear
Also, saw a seal
A walrus chased me
Was right at my heel

Saw many birds
Like snow goose and Arctic tern
When I saw the walrus again
I quickly made a U-turn

I entered the tundra
Saw a hare, colored brown
It was so beautiful
Rare to see here, let alone in town

I saw a pack of wolves
The adults had hunted a hare
The cubs came out to eat
Unlike hyenas, they like to share

I saw a grizzly bear
It was done hibernating, just like mice
I quickly went away
Back on the ice

I saw a herd of reindeer
My favorite had a red nose
Rudolph
As I suppose

Finally, I met Santa
His home was full of gifts
He kept them all in a tall tower
That had many lifts

Am back home
Went for this trip - I'm glad
Wrote many books about the trip
None of them featured anything sad
