Bears in April
Or put up a fence
For those who walk the path
The alternative
An option of the past
Kill the bear
Red tape saves lives
I would caution the reader
This argument is one sided
The side where humans walk
A dangerous path
Filled with snakes and groundhogs
Dogs and bears
That side
Has been paved
With concrete intentions
And rubber soled perspectives
These are duly noted as:
Paws, pads, peds, pegs, legs
These cogs, in heaven as they are on earth,
Will scratch their chin
With their bottom lips
Pursed up over the tops
And embroider 'protection'
Somewhere on their garments
This small decision
Is a rosary
Hey Bear!
Hey Bear!
Where'd you get that coat!
Your mouth a snarly mess
Long in the teeth
Shimmering jowls
Speaking in mostly vowels
Take care of your young, dear boy!
Good show then!
Your side
Is babbling brook
Overgrowth and honeysuckle
Knobby tree stump and shady bush
Can't you read the goddamn sign?
Bears in April
Clear as day
You're going the WRONG WAY!
In the wrong month perhaps
With a lot of commotion
What's the hubub bub?
Get a move on and disappear
You are both protected and managed
Duly noted as:
Byproduct, ancillary, lucky, leaving, captured, habitated,
reservoired, sideswiped, bicycled, jugglered, extinct
