How To Kill A Bear


Kill it with kindness

Sing to it in Swedish

Make it watch vacation slides

Whisper grizzly things in its ear

Feed it processed honey

Let it die of obesity

Call it honey or dear

Give it a ticket to Detroit

Bore it to death

Teach it how to watch corn grow

Place it on the sofa next to you

Make it watch the Price Is Right

Give it a loaded gun

Let nature take its course

(When it is gone)

Stuff it....with potato chips

Mount the head on the wall

Lay the fur on the floor

Call it a rug

Repeat the process

Go into the forest

Hunt for more

Author's Note

Please don't think for a moment that I forgot about watching paint dry or grass growing but I simply did not wish to bore you with details. Corn was the obvious substitute in this instance. Bear facts don't come easy. Enjoy.
