Bear Love

I wish I was a bear

So I could live to scare

I’d roam around the forest

And comb my thick brown hair

I wish I was a bear

So I could sleep in dens all day

And climb the trees and eat honey

While rangers look at me up there

I wish I was a bear

Unfortunately, I’m not

I’m a human, I have a rifle

And I shoot bears for fun. . .

But oh- How I still wish I was a bear!

How I would love it so

I would be a big grizzly

My fur would go frizzy

As I swam in the river-bed

I’d have huge jaws

And big fur paws

And a feisty glare and snare

I wish I was a bear

But just because I’m not

It does not mean, I cannot dream

That I could have been a bear.

If I was a bear

I would be the best bear there could be

I’d be happy, silly and wild

And all the people would smile

Because they too, would dream to be,

A bear, just like me…

A very scary

Forest roaming

Fur combing

Den sleeping

Tree climbing

Honey eating

Grizzly, Frizzy

Happy, wild, silly, swimming,

Huge jawed, massive pawed, glaring, snaring

Bear like me.
