Garden Bear

Pedro is a garden bear

in polka-dotted shorts

he hangs out in the garden

and plays all the garden sports

bocce, horseshoes, badminton

he’s given each a bout

he’s simply not the kind of bear

to work hard for his trout

he feeds on berry bushes

and garbage cans beware;

I really must implore you ~

please don’t feed the garden bear!

Author's Note

Weird story here... There have been quite a few bear sightings around here lately. Apparently, one guy decided to hand-feed one of his ursine guests, published pics on social media, and was arrested... When discussing this with my family, we got to talking about the only bears one should have in their garden, the decorative kind which, according to my mother, wear polka dotted bloomers... Ok, so this is the kind of stuff that gets in my head! LOL!

Lol! It's a small garden...

decorative, and imaginary might be the best...feeding by hand? holy cow...that is completely crazy.

And, as you might guess, it is illegal to feed bears in PA... Thanks for visiting my mind-bends, Jacob!
