Hey Bear
Walking down the path you go
lumber, lumber – oh, so slow.
Is there anyone who’d dare
take you on, Oh Mighty Bear?
For this I have some serious doubt.
So for now I will not shout
as such a move may startle you,
something not so wise to do.
As I walk the narrow way
guaranteed, no I won’t stay.
So at an angle forty-five
my course to you I will but strive.
And if you choose to walk on by,
I will merely say there, hi!
...say VERY softly: Hey Bear
