Polar-iced Place

As Blumenberg might say, work on myth:

Polar Bears, Polar Bears

Polar bears are great monstrous big creatures,

but they don't really live at a pole,

for two great physical force features

result more in a petal-fugal hole.

Or an oblate spheroid called Terra,

spinning tales in the darkness around,

in a life-world we fear to call "Vera,"

where monsters like these bears abound.

And polar bears aren't the earth's only fierce creatures.
