Hungry Bear

Playful mood that changes from stomach's growl,
He lumbers from the food-scarce forest hill,
Where naught is found, not fruit nor wing of fowl.
The shop in town he enters to a chill,
Where's found iced cream. He stuffs until  his fill.
A bear, a meal, and a mood quite cheery,
His favored flavor eaten? STRAWBERRY.

I like Haagen Dasz vanilla caramel cone. I think bear diets are getting better.

Thank you . Actually, I believe bears have always raided human food.

Now due to lack of food and water in the wilderness, animals like tigers, elephants and even leopards have started visiting human habitations. It has become an everyday incident in Kerala. Interesting to know about the bear's favorite strawberry flavor.

Thank you for reading my poem. At least, unlike tigers, bears are omnivores and don't have to eat meat exclusively.

So “sweet.” Much better he eats ice cream instead of a screaming person. Remember: You scream…I scream…we all scream for ice cream. Hugs

You're correct. Ice cream is packed with calories and should help the bear with winter hibernation. I worry that he may come back for another scoop.
