Not Without the Bear
~~~ Not Without the Bear !! ~~~
It was summer and time to travel,
so where the heck was the bear.
I knew I wouldn't have any fun
if he wasn't with me there.
He was the first thing I must pack
before my shorts or hat.
More important that sunglasses
and I wouldn't forget to pack that.
In my travels each summer,
whether to our cabin or just camping,
the bear and I, we were a set.
The most important thing I'd bring.
Soft and furry, with big ears
and only eight inches tall.
My favourite toy, I had to bring.
He was no trouble at all.
He's small enough and quiet enough
and follows me with his eyes.
He likes to sit inside my shirt.
He just happens to be the right size.
So, tease me , if you must,
I really just don't care.
It was summer and time to travel.
I wasn't going without the bear !!
