Here's a poem I found tonight.

By Walter R. Brooks

 

Bee's, Bothered by Bold Bears, Behave Badly

 

" Y our  honey or your life!" says the bold burglar bear,

As he climbs up the tree where the bees have a lair.

" Burglars! Burglars!" The tree begins to hum.

    "Sharpen up your stings, brothers! Tighten up your

        wings, brother!

Beat the alarm on the big bass drum!

Watch yourself, bear, for

         here 

                we

                      come!"

 

Then the big black bees buzz out from their lair,

With sharp stings ready zoom down on the bear.

   "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Don't be so rough!"

       He slithers down the tree, squalling, "hey, let me

            be!" Bawling,

"Keep your old honey. Horrid sticky stuff!"

    I'm going home, for

        I've

            had

                enough!"

    How can one write a poem about bears and honey that would rival a Pooh hum?
