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.
An invitation to Big Brown BearThe bbq is on so come on over.
Sounds like Winnie the pooh has let himself down yet again. Lovely poem.
I am so glad that the bear did not eat you either Patti What a most fasinating bear that is But one can not help but love the hungry fella.......
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.'
