The Thick Fuzzy Brown Bear

We were hiking along throughout the dark woods
Camouflage jackets and dark green hoods
Then out jumped a  bear
Gave us quite the scare
With his big bulky body
And thick fuzzy brown hair

Being quickest to think within my group
I knew the way to get us out of this loop
Not making much sound
I placed the honey I'd found
Atop my friend's head
As the fuzz chased him around

The rest of us ran away as far as we could
Running so fast I had dropped my hood
As I went creeping on back
Thinking my friend was a snack
I found them in poker
As the bear laid down a Jack

Never had I seen something so whack

That was hilarious. You had

That was hilarious. You had me with the first stanza. I am trying to breath now. Hilarious. Have your read Retts, redneck stuff. And the one about werewolves with fleas. I will tell him about this, that was hilarious. Very entertaining. I only have to say what I think Rett would, cut out your extra words. Clean it up, and you got a riot. Julie D.D.

thanks Julie

Im glad you liked it. Yes I will be sure to look over Rett's poems. As much as I have been talking to him lately im surprised I haven't done so already. I will be sure to clean this up. Thanks! -Carch

Thanks!

thanks Indi. I went back and fixed a ton of rhythmical errors, but if there are any things that I may have overlooked that you have seen be sure to let me know! -Carch

Carch,

I agree with the rest, this is pretty great. The imagination and rhythm are really what do it for me. I can picture this moving forward even more......could be playful like the bear winning the honey with a certain hand, or a little more dark comedy like your friend betting an arm and a leg, literally. From one Shel Silverstein fan to another, I can see the influence. Nice work! -Nathaniel
