"Prompt:
Write another poem following the same prompt as last time."

It was a long, cold winter

And the bears were fast asleep

But one of them just couldn't,

Even if he counted sheep.

This little bear, his name was Joe,

and Joe the Bear, well, he loved the snow.

He wasn't like the others, no

He was very odd

And no one knew why Joe instead liked

Cold instead of hot.

He'd stay inside when the weather got nice,

And munch on a whole bucket of ice.

He'd run outside when it began to rain

In hopes of feeling cold again.

No one understood him until one day,

When Joe had wandered off

To find a place to play.

He fell into a pit

And that was it

Of our dear little Joe the Bear.

Now that goes to show that if you play

In the snow,

You might fall in a pit of despair

And end up like our cold, little friend

That silly, Joe the Bear.
