The Polar Bear Slumbered On
by Mrs. Hicks’ 2nd
Grade Class
In the arctic winter,
a polar bear was in
an ice cave sleeping.
He sleeps through the cold winter night, cozy and
warm keeping.
And the polar bear
slumbered on.
A
short-tailed weasel
comes in from the cold.
“Too cold,” he said, so he lights a fire, burning
red and gold.
But the polar bear
slumbered on.
Along comes an arctic hare
who greets the weasel and they make a treat.
They made hot cocoa and roasted marshmallows and
take a seat.
But the polar bear
slumbered on.
Reindeer
comes in for a treat as he sniffs the good smells.
He brought some snow ice cream his mother had made,
so he tells.
But the polar bear
slumbered on.
The arctic fox and
wolf come by, the
snowy owl and
arctic tern fly in.
They hoot and tweet, they yelp and make a din.
But the polar bear
slumbered on.
The hot chocolate boils over and makes a loud sizzle
sound.
The polar bear
wakes up and looks around.
He roars.
He grumbles.
He growls.
He mumbles.
He lumbers.
He pounds.
He thunders.
He bounds.
The polar bear sits
as he fusses and grumbles.
He’s sad that he’s missed all the fun, he mumbles.
The animals tell him to stop all his whining.
They invite him to join in all their fun and start
dining.
So they all party on.
