The Lie

Here's a story that's partially true And part is just a lie See if you can guess which one It's easy, so give it a try I was hunting in the mountains Trying to find a deer My feet were hurting from walking all day And dinner was getting near So I pulled the boots from off my feet And I sit to eat a snack When I heard a rustle from over the hill Somewhere behind my back I turned around to find them Three bear cubs walking my way I only meant to scare them But was in for a surprise that day I started to yell shoo and scram As much noise as I could make But when I saw the mama bear I knew I'd made a mistake The mama started charging I picked up my boots and ran I saw the headlines in my head That a bear had eaten a man I made it back uneaten Thank God I didn't die The only part that wasn't true Was the part I said was a lie
