Bearly Believable

A woman in Alaska, With her brother on a hike, Never dreamed that on a bathroom break Unpleasantness would strike. She sat down on the toilet In an outhouse near a yurt When she felt like something bit her And she screamed because it hurt. Her brother raced inside to see Perhaps a squirrel there But a glance into the bowl revealed None other than a bear! The wounds were superficial But be warned before you strut Into an Alaskan outhouse Or a bear could bite your butt!
