in the land of hinter
where it’s always winter
there lived a ‘polar koala bear’
though he was fair dinkum
feared the weather would sink’m
he was none the worse for the wear
worse for the ‘wear’?
that’s funny, i swear!
for the koala residing in hinter
was only a koala
but a tricky ol’ fella
what he’d ‘wear’ was a white coat during winter
but the coat was indeed polar
from a white bear he stole’er
with a slug of lead and voila!
now, polar bears, like elephants
keep note of such ill events
now the brother of the white coat wears koala!
