Took a bath in the ocean,
and there's no towel in sight.
It sure felt good
but I wish I could
manage to dry by tonight.

It's easy to dry off my head,
and tail feathers dry if they're spread.
Can you tell me why
my armpits won't dry
'til I hold my wings over my head?

 

On the alert!
I'm not dessert
for hungry things
with fur or wings.

They’re after me
and I must flee
if I’m to see
my family.

I must be fast
or must outlast
the chase
that's meant to be.

If I don't run
it won’t be fun
to see
what’s left of me!

 

This sign is placed
to give me space
to scratch my big behind.

It's big enough
to hang there tough...
a wondrous thing to find.

It even has a guide
so I can scratch just so.
I'll rub from side to side
and know how fast to go.

"Tell Me Why My Armpits Won't Dry" This is a terrific e-book by Leo and Dorothy Keeler. They are wildlife photographers who live in Alaska and photograph animals native to that region. There are more than 20 pages with great photos they took such as eagles, wolves, and bears, and each page has a funny poem about an animal. My favorite is the bear who scratches himself on the stop sign. There are fun facts about animals, games, and pages to print out and color. This is an e-book you can use over and over and great for any kid with a computer. Alaska Wilderness Press. Dad's comments: Because I'm an amateur photographer, I was interested in the photos in this book and was amazed at their quality. The way the Keelers used their talents to make a fun and yet informative book for kids is to be commended.
