Fuzzy Wuzzy

A play on the back story of a beloved old children's poem. ( was it a poem, It might have been more of a limerick. )

Fuzzy Wuzzy 

was a bear.

Fuzzy Wuzzy 

had great hair.

He'd a thing 

for the honeys.

They thought

him quite funny.

And for him

Many went bare.

In college

He met a lady.

Tables turned

She drove him quite crazy

Went out

Spent his money

on a ring 

for love bunny,

This lady

He did want to marry. 

The engagement 

he planned was lovely.

Said yes,

They were one and onlys.

He spoke to her dad

Who thought him mad,

Talked to her sister,

said he'd make a great Mister

And surely 

They'd never be lonely.

For the wedding

He needed cash.

Else all of his plans

yet might crash.

He got a new job

He managed a store

No longer had time 

for the things he adored

Till his head 

he wanted to bash. 

Bears are not meant

For the office.

Well intentioned though,

He wouldn't stop it. 

        He slowly went bitter

lost all his fur,

His fiancee, she drifted

love no longer heard.

Till she left him,

No longer his poppet.

Fuzzy Wuzzy 

was a bear. 

Fuzzy Wuzzy 

had no hair. 

Alone with his shop,

now hating his life.

Untrue to himself,

       lost his future wife.

left sobbing

in his lonely lair.

this is quite an entertaining twist on an old tale.. playful rhythm and flow help power this piece. nicely done.. I enjoyed:)

thank you. I am not normally one to attempt any sort of rhyme scheme, as it's not really my forte. but I couldn't resist trying......seemed wrong, considering the subject, to do otherwise. Thank you again :)

I can definitely understand that.. we all have our own unique "style" that we are comfortable with, but it is nice to challenge ourselves and step out of that box every now and then.. (you should see me try to write a non-rhyming piece).. I have only done a few, but nice to switch it up.. you are more than welcome, it was my pleasure. can't wait to read more.
