The Purple Panda is not black,

nor is it white.

Its purple, and this color does fit it right.


The Purple Pandas fur is eccentric.

The most lovely shade of purple

some believe it is not authentic.


The Purple Panda is adorable.

Like all pandas are, but this one raises the bar.

Its double the cute of any kitten

and triple the cute of kittens in mittens.


The Purple Panda is unusual.

Have you ever heard of a panda who

loves to eat bananas? Or a panda who

can fly high up in the sky?


The Purple Panda loves to share.

Sharing with the purple pandas isn't very rare.

Whats theirs is yours, whats yours is theirs,

but destroy what you borrow, and they might care.


The Purple Panda is extinct.

Its habitat was borrowed permanently.

its purple fur used as a fashion accessory.

They retreated deeper into the forest in desperation.

They could not fly.

They had little strength,

for it was hot in the forest.

Their fur was just to dense.


Their only food source

the bananas they so loved

grew up in the canopy, high up above.



so with no home or food, the Purple Panda died out.

Vanishing one by one, never known about.

Until now.
