Notes About The Poem

bears

Listen to poem:

Dare Poke the Bear!

Dare poke the bear, rattle the cage,
Time will slink away to shun you.
For the fight is more rant than rage.
Dare poke the bear!

Friends will cringe and flinch at your blew.
Ignoring pleas from wise old sage,
You've bitten more than you can chew.

So let the swing and swipe in cage.
Suffice to quell your hoodoo brew,
Before it poisons all on stage.
Dare poke the bear!
