Afraid of Wolverines

I cannot vacation in Siberia she said.
There are wolverines there.
I would be promptly dead.

She knew they were fierce.
With huge claws and a crushing jaw.
She had heard the nightmarish stories from her own pa.

They would rip me apart, eat me for lunch.
My fear is gigantic, they would rip me a bunch.

We pointed out that it is no mystery….
No wolverine has ever attacked a human in history.

It did not matter.
Her mind was made up.
She would not go to Siberia.
She would stay home with her pup.

Tell your friend that you know a 'Wolf-erine' who has never harmed a fly -- at least not that you know of. lol. Go, Michigan Wolverines -- to Siberia!

I think wolverines are kind of cute.
