Frightening
Doggerel
Coldness:
frigophobia
This polar
bear was very weird.
Among the
things he truly feared
Was cold. One
day, he disappeared.
The bears
all wondered where he'd gone.
His
absence lingered on and on
Until the
spring, when one bright dawn
He
reappeared. His coat was tan.
Among his worried
ursine clan
The word
went out: “He’s been to Cannes!”
The bears
then asked him (girls and guys)
About the
glitter in his eyes.
“In
Cannes,” he said, “I won a prize,
A film I’d
made about the snow—
And
temperatures too far below.
We’ll see
it at the picture show!”
The other
bears were happy now—
They knew
that he’d been safe, somehow.
They
clapped their paws; he took a bow.
