Ever Seen a Grizzly Bare

Have you ever seen a grizzly... bare? And told him to put on some clothes I did that once, but it must have upset him Because he reared back on his toes Well this guy's no freaking big hero So I started to take off like a shot But before I could, he grabs me and says “I'm your friend... like it or not!” Mr. Grizzly must surely have noticed Sweat pouring down from my brow He started to laugh like big bears do Scared the poop out of me... holy cow! As he held me, I calmed down a little He seemed like a right friendly chap But those teeth of his were really big He was drooling from his cavernous yap All in all, seemed like a kindly old soul Neither nasty, nor scary, nor mean I asked if he'd like to come home for honey But I insisted he wear some jeans The reason is because of the wee kiddies Not nice to go showing your parts It's just a matter of common decency Wanted to get that straight from the start So off we go, Mr. Grizzly and me I'm feeling warm and fuzzy all over Another new friend to share some laughs Along with my old dog Rover ©Jack Ellison 2012

Funny story, Jack. You can come up with just about anything can't you? A great storyteller. I am trying not to imagine a fur-less bear. Sounds like a nightmare! lol Always, Laura

The ones we saw in Alaska last summer had no clothes either! I didn't tell them anything though, I figure that if they wanna run around nude, well they got the claws and teeth to do what they want.

Good move my friend! Pretty sure I would have done the same but at my ripe old age of 79, they would have caught me for sure!

What did mr. adventure man posted in this sweet poem. A bear with no clothes ... You can not play with bears my dear friend It is so nice to see that you enjoy the small and slightly bigger things here in our "serious" world. Should have had many of you Jack. Sending you a warm hug - oxox / / Anne-Lise :)
