*****
Tall and fluffy, sweet and cute
To kids he is the perfect hoot.
Moving slow, but smart and clever
He can’t be drawn in colors ever.
**
Mom’s are not tender, but quite hard
They raise their kids, educational and smart.
Even though babies are tiny at birth
With 18 months they know what they’re worth.
**
Unimpressed by meat who knew,
they’re eating plants, trees and bamboo.
They’re Asian, still their eyes are round
They can swim and climb but live on the ground
**
When they eat, they use to sit
They move deliberate when they flit.
However cute they’re still quite strong
And can be dangerous, don’t get it wrong.
**
They don’t sleep when it gets cold
They just move lower, they’re that bold.
Their habitat shrinks, it’s sadly linked
that they might soon become extinct.
**
If humans don’t give them huge advance
This cuddly friend won’t stand a chance,
to survive on Earth equal and fair;
Our black and white, beautiful Panda Bear.
