The Bear Facts

One day I was walkin' through the woods

Amongst the cool, crisp mountain air

When cold and burley there he stood

Lickin' his chops this hungry bear

I tried so hard to find a tree

And scamper fast, I tried to run

Before his claws took hold of me

The dang thing nipped me in the bum!

And quick I thought to grab a stick

And slap him hard across the nose

I took for brush, the trees were thick

And that is how the story goes

The moral of this tiny tale

Is never walk alone out there

And if I ever hear you wail

Don't count on me if it's a bear!

I loved the lightness of this poem which made me smile. I hope both parties came well out of their encounter. :0)

While I can't compare this at all to my own bear encounters which seem mundane in comparison, I found this a fun read!

: ) Bears are like giant dogs with Freddy Krueger claws.

I think I heard Bill Burr say that last year in a comedy club somewhere.

It's hard not to like Bill Burr.
