Listen to poem:

Old Will's the Bear

OLD WILL'S THE BEAR

Old Will's the bear sure had not one care
Happy with you his fleas he was to share
But only if one was brave, enough to hug
Old Will’s likes his tea, so bring your mug
Sharing a campsite fire down by the river
Fresh caught fish, old Will’s can as deliver
Finishing the meal with a cup of Earl Grey
That is how old Will's, likes to end his day
After it, be sure, to scratch old Will’s back
As in manners, to an old bear, do not lack
Old bears, like Will’s, are easily tempered
Nowt worse, to being found dismembered

Forewarned folks

Old bears are easily tempered . . .  

Indiana Shaw . . .

Lindsay Laurie November 12, 2018 at 6:12 PM G'day Indiana … nicely described. We don't have anything like bears down here. You described Will as carefree but I have read that they can turn nasty very quickly - thanks Indiana - Lindsay Indiana Shaw November 12, 2018 at 10:03 PM Aye - take away their honey and bears ain't so funny . . . ; )
