Betty and Veronica
Central Park has grizzly bears
(Don’t worry – in the zoo)
Residing in the habitat
The polar bear once knew.
While visiting the park today
I saw them in their lair;
With one asleep and one stretched out,
They didn’t seem to care.
Their given names, to comic buffs,
Will bring a little smile,
As Betty and Veronica
Explore their domicile.
It’s nice to know the animals
By name, but there’s one hitch –
We’d need an Archie bear as well
To tell us which is which.
