the little water bear

is the king of survival

with millions of years

since his species arrival

he can live in the desert

or on cold mountaintops

he can swim the deep sea

or the smallest of drops

he can go anywhere

he can live any place

from a volcanic mud

to the vacuum of space

like most other bears

there’s little he fears

he can hibernate too

for a hundred long years

he will outlive us all

for he has no true rival

this little water bear

is the king of survival
