Grizzly Bear Takes Advice From Robin

a grizzly bear had never looked so sincere
I hid in the woods, trying not to shake my rear
the robin was clearly in charge that day
coaching the bear, in the kindest way

luckily I speak bird so I understood his tweet
he said you have to soft-speak her, you must be sweet
no female wants you to act like a cave man, honey
approach her softly as if she was a bunny

the bear thanked the robin, who flew away
then bear trotted toward a black blob of clay
the clay reared up and I was scared to see
two grizzly bears both looking at me!
