Read together
In the cold and icy north,
Lives a group of creatures, of all sorts.
A walrus with a big mustache,
Eats clams and mussels in a flash.
A polar bear, strong and brave,
Hunts fish on the frozen waves.
A reindeer, with a red nose,
Pulls Santa's sleigh, that everyone knows.
A penguin, with a tuxedo black,
Waddles and slides, never looking back.
A beluga whale, with a white skin,
Sings a song, that no one can win.
And last but not least, a narwhal,
With a long horn, that's unique and special.
So let's celebrate, these creatures so fine,
Living in the cold, and having a good time.
