The only bears I’ve ever seen
Are in the zoo or on the screen
I’d like to think I’ll never meet
A single one out on the street !
Most bears are wild and roam about
They are quite large with scary snout
But if we met I’d stay quite calm
And slowly turn away from harm,
I’d try to walk with a loud sound
Or crunchy step upon the ground
Talking and praying as I flee
Hoping that he’s as scared as me !
