A song about a Bear

by James
(Florida)

The other day, I met a bear,
Out in the woods,
A way out there.
He looked at me,
I looked at him,
He sized up me,
I sized up him.
He said to me, Why don't you run,
I see you ain't, Got any gun,
And so I ran,
Away from there,
But right behind me was that bear.
Ahead of me, there was a tree,
A great big tree,
Oh, glory me.
The lowest branch,
Was ten feet up,
I'd have to jump,
And trust my luck.
And so I jumped into the air,
But I missed that branch,
Away up there.
Now don't you fret,
Now don't you frown,
Cause I caught that branch,
On the way back down.
I heard a crack, I heard a crunch,
And I became,
That big bear's lunch.
The moral of,
The story be,
Don't meet a bear,
With out a tree.
