The Bear Who Stood Up To Man
By Jared Frondorf
A Master Of The Dastardly
One Filling Our Environment Hazardly
Beating Back Nature Almost Handedly
Until But One Bear Stood Up To Man Haggardly
But Man Laughed Heartily
What But One Bear Could Do To Stop His Machinery
But The Bear With Swift Mastery
Massacred Mans Tools With Swift Waggery
As Man Stood In Abject Misery
He Turned Tail And Left Brokenly
For That Day Naught But One Bear
Had Beat Man And Ended His Caustic Reign
And Stopped The Fall Of His Toxic Rain
Many Wonder The Fate Of That Young Bear
But To Many Young Delights We Bear
He Sleeps In His Home Far In Natures Glare
Peacefully Taking His Minute Share
As We All Might Do If We Learned A Thing Or Two
From The Bear Who Stood Up To Man
