Badly burned in a forest fire
In 1950 the young bear
Was rescued and then did inspire
Preventing forest fires need care.
Smokey Bear, bearer of the name,
Did live in the National Zoo,
Where he did gather so much fame,
He needed his own zip code - true!
1976 he died,
Was buried in New Mexico
In Smokey Bear Park right beside
Where he'd been found those years ago.
Smokey Bear - he will always be
A reminder for you and me.
