Second Stanza
Visit me in the summer but wear your shorts,

If you visit me in the winter, you can expect the
same temperatures, because I am so close to the
equator that my seasons do not vary.
My climate is warm and wet, so don’t forget your
umbrella. I average 157 inches of rain each year,
so it rains nearly every day.

constrictors.
But you would never find a zebra or a polar bear

Listen closely and you will hear the soft plopping
of raindrops, the swish of vines as a sloth hangs
lazily overhead, and the calls of over 4,000 species
of birds.

trees, Bengal bamboo, mangrove forests, and a
wide variety of other dense vegetation.

beetles, leaf-cutter ants, rhinoceros beetles, and
Monarch butterflies.
