Start the Week With Words: Going Polar

Posted on: December 6, 2010

In honor of the amazing Polar Express program coming up this Friday at 5:30 and the (not quite) polar weather we are having, here are a few poems from the book,

Polar Animals by Paul Hess.

Reindeer

A WHISPERY GALLOP of hooves in the snow,
As reindeer play tag through each drift;
Splish-splush! Through the mush-slushy puddles they go-
O reindeer! Run silent, run swift!

Penguin

PENGUINS look immensely smart
It needs no explanation
They’re simply waiting patiently
For a dinner invitation.

Polar Bear

THE secret of the polar bear
Is that he wears long underwear.
