Winter Asleep

January 21, 2014
By Anonymous

Bats, bees, bears, oh please.
While i stay up sneezing, these guys are sleeping.
Snails, lemurs, and hedgehogs, oh my.
This is not the season you'd be catching butterflies.
Box turtles, the marmot, and garter snakes too; are at their houses taking a snooze.
Don't forget to shut the poorwill's window sill while you're at it, these are these animals natural habits.

My teacher at my magnet school told the students to write about hibernating animals, and these were the ten animals that she told us that were most common to hibernate.
