Papa Bear And Screech The Owl Poem by Ima Ryma

Both Papa Bear and Screech the Owl
Live at Lincoln Park Childrens' Zoo.
Even though a mammal and fowl,
They respect each other, they do,
Because they each in their own way
Teach human children to treat all
Animals, predator and prey,
Examples to heed nature's call.
Prey that the bear and owl do kill
Is only done out of a need
To nourish with food to fulfill,
And involves no hatred indeed.

Papa Bear and Screech the Owl be
Good teachers for children like me.
