Bear Surprise Poem by Marilyn Lott

His face was the face of an angel
A bear angel at least I can say
Big paws to catch fish with
He looked quite ready for play

But of course, the bears were avoided
By the animals that lived in the barn
Probably some could tell you
Some sort of bear-scary yarn

Badgers of course would never
Spend time with bears for sure
Turkeys are ever so fearful
Bears they could never endure

But bear country Is a place I have seen
Bears just as cute as could be
I saw a baby bear climb up
To the top of a very small tree

I just love everything about them
Although you surely must be wise
For they are still wild animals
And you don’t need a bear surprise!
