Do you think that my stare
makes you strangely aware
of the fact (let's be fair):
I'm a ruddy great bear?
Though my nose is quite square,
my nostrils will flare
when I smell in the air
some edible fare.
I've masses of hair
and then some to spare;
don't ask me to share ~
you don't have a prayer!
If you came to my lair
you'd need to beware:
I freely declare
I'd eat you ~ so there!
Author notes
'Bear' is such a great word to find rhymes for...it lends itself to a monorhyme, so I hope the ones I've used will not sound too awful!

Delightful monorhyme and personification! Enjoyable meter. A very entertaining write!

Awww... look at the big lummocks... you know he's a sucker for pets. I can tell just by looking he's a huggable loveable lap bear! You've made him out to be the stereotypical, uncultured monster of the wilderness with Big SHARP teeth!!! He just wants a couple of slices of lunch meat and a few square yards of power-napping area!
