Arctic Terror (or who did the polar bear have for lunch?)

I was on the arctic ice,
...up Alaska way,
When I spied a polar bear,
...much to my dismay.

I turned to run, to get away,
...I feared white giant beast,
I had no want to be bear's lunch,
...to be his noon-time feast.

I tripped and fell, and shouted heck,
...I wished I had a gun,
But I did not, so there I lay,
...my life, would soon be done.

I lay there on the snow and ice,
...I'd soon feel claws of death,
In my nostrils I could smell,
...gigantic bear's bad breath.

I turned my head, to sneak a peak,
...before my execution,
To my surprise, there was no bear,
...it was an optical Aleutian.

Well that was extremely funny Tim. And the Aleutian Islands became quite important to Yamamoto in World War II, perhaps your optical Aleutian was a left over?

Live today like it was your last day on earth!

So this is where the Polar Bear came from, an Aleutian....
