Old Will's the Bear

Listen to poem:
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 . . .

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
