Where Are You Going

I went out to take a walk in the lake
Laughed at by doughnuts and chocolate cake
Came back in and gave their trays both a shake
Doughnuts did fine, but now cake has a break.

Where are you going my husband asked me.
To walk in the lake or climb up that tree.
I did not want company, can you see?
Started back out at a quarter to three.

Changed my mind when I saw a bear out there.
He gave me the eye, a menacing stare.
You’re so wishy washy said husband Jer.
So I sent him outside with a lawn chair.

Oh no! When did you see him last? Did they eat the chair, too?

I saw him a few days ago, and there is a strong stench.
