Cosmo
Cosmo the Bear,
As his name might suggest,
Has family links everywhere,
North, south, east, west
A cosmopolitan character
Who lives on his phone,
Has no passion for fashion
And swims on his own!

Dr Barbini
She’s a High Flyer,
A doctor no less,
Who will help find a way
Out of this climate change mess
A mixed-up birdbrain
With beak, skirt and feather,
With her special skills
We’ll beat this together

Pip
“Earth’s ice is melting
More and more”

The apple core
“The planet’s doomed
Unless we act
To show all humans
How to fight back”

Juan
Pip’s friend Juan
Is not convinced.
He keeps his cool,
Ignores the hints
“Earth is in trouble?
Are you sure
The ice is melting
more and more?”

Elmer
Most trees don’t do exercise.
They stay rooted to the spot.
But Elmer keeps up with the Critter guys
As they head off at a trot
The trees are disappearing
By trunk, by branch and log.
Our Critter friends must save them
However hard the slog
