Answer 2

POEM:

The Polar Bear never makes his bed;

He sleeps on a cake of ice instead.

He has no blanket, no quilt, no sheet

Except rain and snow and sleet.

He drifts about on a white ice floe

While cold winds howl and blizzards blow

And the temperature drops 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 he ever rose and turned on the light,

He would find a world of bathtub white,

And icebergs floating through the night.

SUMMARY:

Here, he wrote about the life of a polar bear, living his days on the cold ice floes with no warm blanket to keep him warm at night.  It is a clever way to describe to a child how such a creature survives such a harsh environment.

WORD HELP:

sleet : a mixture of snow and ice

ice floe : a large sheet of floating ice on the surface of sea

blizzard : a storm with a lot of snow and strong winds
