Gus, The Bi-Polar Bear Poem by John F. McCullagh

Torn away from his two loving parents,
And put on display in a zoo, .
Gus suffered from chronic depression
A white bear with black moods, sad but true.
He'd swim figure eight's by the hour,
as if stuck in a Mobius strip.
Zoo officials called it a neurosis
But were worried their bear just might flip.
A consultant said Gus had depression
And collect a munificent fee.
Gus would be treated with Prosaic
And be as happy a bear as can be.
