The Snow Cowboy; where is the Musk Ox and where is it he's wandered?


There once was a cowboy who was covered in hair. He didn't ride a horse, instead a big polar bear.
He came from a place that was covered in snow, the hair was for warmth and even covered his toes!
One day he was counting the animals in his care, a pointy-horned Narwhal, the jumpy Arctic Hare.
He spotted his friend Puffin and the white Arctic Fox, but to his surprise, he could not spy, the old Musk Ox.
So like any good cowboy who had lost one of his own, he embarked on a journey to return the ox home.
His first port of call was to speak to the Puffin, flying high in the sky, she must have seen something.
The snow cowboy asked what the puffin had seen, the answer was reluctant and involved a cuisine.
Oh deary me, oh my, oh my, out came the Puffin’s most startled reply.
I was told not to tell you, his trust I may break, but I thought I saw him carrying a rather large cake!
Then the Puffin flew off and the snow cowboy pondered, Where is the Musk Ox and where is it
he’s wandered?
With questions unanswered, he knew not to dwell, he tracked down the Fox for his keen sense of smell.
The snow cowboy asked what the Fox may have smelt, the answer was suspicious and it didn't much help.
Oh goodness gracious, oh heavens above, this is a question I don't much love.
This secret I have, you can now handle, I caught the aroma of a freshly lit candle.
Then the Fox scurried off and the snow cowboy pondered, where is the Musk Ox and where is it he’s wandered?
He was now quite concerned, he was almost in tears, he spoke to the Hare with his rather large ears.
The snow cowboy asked what the hare may have heard, the answer was hopeful, he clung to each word.
Oh golly gosh, oh what a pickle, If truth be told, the ears they did tickle.
It'll seem awful silly but this afternoon, I heard him in the igloo blowing up a balloon.
Then the Hare hopped off and the snow cowboy pondered, where is the Musk Ox and where is it he’s wandered?
Outside the igloo, there was a lot of commotion, the cowboy approached with a mix of emotion.
Inside was a party it was all very pleasant, there stood the Musk Ox next to a big stack of presents.
Oh very clever, oh what a surprise Today is my birthday, you shouldn't have guys!
The party commenced and no longer was it pondered, where the Musk Ox was or where was it he’d wandered?
