The Bear’s Quite A Load
The Bear
You keep on poking the bear .
True .... the bear isn’t as badass as she thinks.
Yeah ... but .... she’s got a mean bite .
I’ve got thick skin .... it’ll be alright .
Maybe it won’t be right now but we’re in the early rounds .... Right????
Metaphorically speaking , I think you’ve got some oil leaking .
True I’ve got some extra miles .
True , maybe there’s a hint of denial .
Well , I’ve got plenty of gas.
I think there’s plenty of reason for both of us to last .
Did you ever think the bear just wants to sleep ?
Yeah that’s a thought ..... but I this is spring not fall .
If the bear doesn’t even know the season ..... how can she expect reason ?
Well , that bear is pretty fierce and those claws can take your life .
If you’re worried , I can show you my scars .
They’re all kind of deep and left me disfigured.
They all have pain and joy that I like to remember .
So , I’m into making memories rough yet tender .
