Polar Bear
William Jay Smith

The polar bear never makes his bed;
He sleeps on a cake of ice instead.
He has no blanket, no quilt, no sheet
Except the rain and snow and sleet.
He drifts about on a white ice floe
While cold winds howl and blizzards blow
And the temperature drops to 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 ever he rose and turned on the light,
He would find a world of bathtub white,
And icebergs floating through the night.

Happy New Year Amy! Here's another snow poem.

Verses inspired by lake-effect snow in northern Ohio about 40 years ago but the background is down in a West Texas draw during a blizzard in 2013.
