The polar bear preferred the cold
he loved the snow and ice
he liked to eat the Arctic seals
and hated rats and mice
The barn owl on the other hand
enjoyed a tasty mouse
and he liked to turn his lonely barn
into a nice warm house
So they decided, there and then
to end their strange affair
'cause though their love was mutual
an owl is different to a bear
So the polar bear and the barn owl
went their separate ways
and the polar bear suffered sleepless nights
and the barn owl sleepless days
