Kayaking Myself Down Eskimo Way

Kayaking myself down Eskimo way
I found an abandoned igloo and decided to stay
The last polar bear promptly scared me away
I know my scared face turned a weird kind of gray

Luckily I could outrun my good buddy Jay
We had his funeral yesterday
His parents asked, but what could   say?
That I was thrilled I had outrun him that day?

I'm so afraid the polar bear's days are numbered by climate change. They are such beautiful, truly majestic animals. Glad you outran Jan. Was there much left of him to bury???
