Ursine Contemplations

Few things as rare
Compare in the air
With a flying bear
But always remember he shouldn’t be there
For a flying bear,
Whilst giving a scare
Can scarcely give you a meaningful hug
And is far more likely to end as a rug
than a bear on the ground
Well, so I have found, anyway…..

I don’t know why I blogged this – I NEED HELP!

      1. My cousin’s son is very talented, but he’s done only a few limited things for CD covers. He does great, bizarre characters. 🙂

  5. I really don’t know what treatment is available for a malady lie this. We’ll start with the ‘bear’ necessities shall we?

  7. I would think the grounded bear would be more likely to wind up as a rug than the airborne one, but I trust your experience in this one, and your sense of rhyme.

    1. Walt, do you honestly speak as a man who has never shot down a flying bear? Is there still such innocence in the world?

      1. With God as my witness, I have never shot down a bear in the air. I am innocent of this, if not of other infractions. So yes. And no.

  8. It has a nice jingle – that’s why you posted – and your readers are smiling – mission accomplished! Reminds me of Pooh bear pretending to be a rain cloud to fool the bees in the tree! So, when I read it I envisioned a flying toy bear. A flying, several -hundred pound, bear with rug-like pelt, is harder to imagine. An Illustration would be awesome and astonishing.

  9. You must have read Annika Perry’s darling post about Bear wisdom:

    ‘Live large

    Climb beyond your limitations

    When life get hairy, grin and bear it

    Eat well

    Live with the seasons

    Take a good, long nap

    Look after your honey!’

    Yes, bears rule today.

    1. Yes, that’s a nice t-shirt, BTW. I must look for some equivalent in UK. Sadly, though, we don’t have any bears; even flying ones.
