The big brown bear br Roamed into the town br He toddled to the square br With a snarl and a frown br br He was looking for food br And a place to sleep br Hurry… improve his mood br Before he makes us weep br br 911 was hurriedly dialed br Please come now and resolve br Return this beast to the wild br It is your job to get involved br br Trained experts arrived in haste br Armed with a tranquilizer gun br Approaching… and being chased br Suddenly they were on the run br br Hightailing it to their Jeep br Accelerating with fear br As the salivating bear took a leap br And landed in the rear br br Zigging and zagging they rapidly drove br Far away to the edge of a flowing stream br Filled with salmon near a tree lined cove br It was the fury bear’s ultimate dream br br Stopping abruptly… the rangers prayed br As the hitchhiker departed with a grin br Lumbering to the edge and starting to wade br Eagerly eating a meal of scales and fins br br The town’s people are now at ease br The terror of being devoured has passed br The chubby bear’s appetite is appeased br No longer does he seek a human breakfast br br 4108br br Theresa Ann Moorebr br
