Stuck Poem by Amera Andersen

I went to gather firewood
And much to my surprise
I came across this neighborhood
And heard these funny cries
A talking bear was in a tree
The bear was cold as he could be
A talking bear
A talking bear
To my surprise he talked to me

I went to gather firewood
And came across this bear
He spoke to me right where I stood
And told me to beware
He said; “look out” it happens fast
They’ll freeze you with a winter blast
He said; “look out”
He said; “look out”
“I’m stuck here like an iron cast”

I went to gather firewood
It happened like he said
They froze me like he said they would
I could not move ahead
I’m frozen stiff and stuck right here
The winter winds are quite severe
I’m frozen stiff
I’m frozen stiff
I might thaw out within a year
