Wrestling Naked Bears In the Fleeting Flames of Folly

Wrestling naked bears in the fleeting flames of folly Alone against the backdrop of hazed mountain lone fireflies pour from moon’s lightning fountain challenging the red faced lady bugs to go away - there’d be no parting hugs Obese owls panting warn their mousey prey they too grown fat since things had turned their way had taken shapes to make Walt Disney’s mice look lean caused the sated cats to jiggle as they preen Velvet dogs had played strip poker with the bears left them at the table covering their rears naked now, they hide behind a tree growling – move on nothing here to see I joined the bears in a quick skinny dip that is until they gave me some cheap lip they never saw the pictures that I took until I friended them on their faceebook And as the fireflies ignite the night tcold, naked bears are staying out of sight plump owls watch the dogs of velvet ways moving through the foggy mountain haze John G.
