A Bear Came To Dinner Poem by Patti Masterman

A Bear Came To Dinner

Rating: 4.8


A bear came to dinner;
He ate before the bell,
He didn't use his napkin,
I am here to tell.

He didn't cut his steak,
Neatly; with the knife,
And licked his mashed potatoes
Off the plate- it was not quiet.

He didn't wait for prayers,
He didn't pass the bread-
But balanced it, most perkily,
Atop his brown-bear head.

His manners more atrocious,
Than any I have seen;
But heavens, I'm so grateful
He didn't just eat me.

Lines 13 and 14 I would 'fine-tune', but it is another favorite stanza for me. I like the poem's humor. And I LICK DISHES ROUTINELY, both mine and my mate's. (not in restaurants) 4 stars. bri : )

Line 6: I'd delete the semicolon [; ]. Favorite lines: 'But balanced it, most perkily, Atop his brown-bear head.'
