Bear

Here's one of my favorite bear poems that I made

Me, sleeping
Late at night
Tucked under the covers
In the faint summer's light

Suddenly, I
Hear something downstairs
Scared out of my wits
I think "Bears!"

I creep down the stairs
As quietly as I could
I peer 'round the corner
A bear with a hood!

It was standing upright
As clear as can be
Suddenly I could see
He had an injured left knee

Now, if I could tell you
How strange it was
It was about as unreal as
The wizard of oz

This bear had an intention
Though I didn't know what
It lumbered to the freezer
And opened it up

He got something
As I could see
He fondled the ice-cream
Then he looked at me

As I looked closer
I saw what I saw
It was my dad
All bulky and tall

I knew it wasn't a bear
Just a family member
Why I assumed a bear though
I cannot remember

Now that I caught my dad
Stealing the ice-cream
He smiled innocently
Then the first sun beam!

I thought
Hey, it's not morning yet
Then I woke up
Dreaming, I bet

Now that's the story
All said and done
I think it's brilliant
I think I won!
