Encountering Jim Mcgill's Grizzly

Rating: 5.0

A bear asleep on the path ahead
forced me to stop and use my head.
An icicle he got
in Jim's chosen spot,
but then in a panic I fled.

I will have to read McGill's poem, although, as Mrs. Wassermeister said, I can imagine where that spot is! Thank you for sharing!

Having lived in grizzly bear country myself all I can say is....I'm surprised that you are alive to recite this poem for us! Of course I am joking!

Great limerick. I can imagine where Jim's chosen spot is, but I will read his poem to be sure.
