He looked around the forest,
Taking in the fresh summer air.
The trees peered down on him,
He walked without a care.
He adored the songs,
sung by shimmering leaves.
But what he witnessed next,
he could not believe.
A distant figure,
too large to be human.
He crept closer,
in great confusion.
A glimpse was caught,
of his worst nightmare.
What was upon him,
a great grizzly bear.
A menace of the wilderness,
was in his presence.
It’s tree trunk limbs and scuffed up paws
were oddly pleasant.
The observer backed up slowly,
making no noise.
Eager to get home,
and tell all the boys.
