A Q&A with Smokey Bear, who's celebrating his 75th birthday Friday at the Fair – Twin Cities

Smokey the Bear points his finger at you
Watch the campfire and everything you do
One bad move brings a forest to its knees 
Many a wise decision saves a forest of trees

Note-Saw a completed contest. And thought I'd
give it a try after the fact. The poem may be late 
for the dance, but nonetheless, it's fun to dance.

I would’ve called it a winner, Connie. ;-)

Lin, thank you for leaving me a cup of tea. Much appreciated. This poem came to me fast. Once the rhymes came into place, it was a joy frosting the cake.
