A Polar Bear Poem

The Polar bear is the king of animals. It can kill anything it gets its
paws on.
But
Even though the Polar bear is the king of animals we still can be his
friend.

The Polar bear may see you from a distance, but it may not come for you.

Unless it becomes your enemy,
Then you have to watch it carefully.

The Polar bear is here on earth for a reason.

It is a part of the animal kingdom
just like us.
