What I Do?
Oh Brrrrrr! Oh My!
It is cold outside!
It is snowing
It is blowing
It is blustery
Oh Brrrrrr! Oh My!
It is so cold outside!
I have no coat,
I have no mitts,
a hat or boots.
I have no heater
to keep warm either!
I cannot migrate
for I have no wings.
I cannot adapt
for no new fur I grow,
I cannot camouflage
for I cannot change color!
What do I do?
What do I do?
Oh! What do I do?
Ah! I think I know
what I will do!
I know what I will do!
I will just sleep.
Yes, I shall just sleep.
Sleep, sleep, and sleep.
Sleep all day and all night.
Sleep until winter is over
and spring is here.
Yes, that is what I will do,
I shall Hibernate all winter long
because that is exactly what all bears do!
