A special trip I took to the county fair.
livestock grazed and roamed around there.
But in a cage, was a large brown bear,
And a challenge to wrestle for a cash prize share.
Who could stay the longest in the cage with him?
Two would be winners, third place no win!
I flexed my arms and was much impressed,
Till the bear stood up and slapped my chin.
A second thought was running through my mind.
Was my insurance caught up? Did I pay in time?
But my second thought never made a third,
As I was spinning around, my shouts were all I heard.
I only lay in traction, for maybe just a week.
My head stopped hurting, my sore throat can speak.
When you're screaming "Help" lots of blood can leak.
My advise to you, if you get the chance,
When confronting bears, get one who will dance!
