Bears

by Ellen Bailey

I look out my window and what do I see?
A large grizzly bear coming to visit me
Oh Lord, please change that bear's direction
He's not invited and I don't want his affections

I look again out my window and what do I see?
A large black bear standing next to an oak tree
I was taught to be polite when company arrives
But this guest has taken me by surprise

I look again out my window and what do I see?
A large black bear preparing to take his leave
There are many grizzly bears in these hills
But I ain't Goldie Locks: these bears are for real
