A Bear of a Problem

A BEAR OF A PROBLEM Mother bear has said no climbing trees in the woods But she climbs higher than little bear ever could It's sometimes a good exercise this climbing around There are occasions when you're safer up off the ground Of course when climbing high up in a tree A bear never knows what the next encounter will be A small bear advancing near a bee hive Should have stayed below before here he arrived But aroma of honey caught his attention Except one thing mom forgot to mention These small creatures called bees Have needles in their little rears And a sting from them will bring a baby bear to tears And then the speed of this baby bear's descent Would match an Olympian's best all time sprint

So glad you liked it . Anything to do with bears immediately gets my attention so it wasn't hard to think up a little poem that went with a picture I painted - Thanks again
