The Grizzly Bear
There you lie,
Lounging in your
Dark and ominous
Cave, surrounded by
Various clothes.
You are a grizzly
Bear, hibernating
With no care whatsoever.
No one tells you what
To do; you are the
King of the forest.
You are big and
Mighty, but rather
Lazy when it comes
Time to catch a
Nap. You run
On your own
Schedule, doing
What you want.
But, when it
Comes time for
Hunting, when you
Have that urge; that
Piercing hunger; you
Are a terrible beast.
You hunker around
Eying up everything.
You scavenge for food
As if you have come
Out of a six month
Fast. You take
No prisoner, everything
Is fair game.
You tackle animals
With ease, catch
Fish like pebbles,
And eat berries
Like candy.
Your stomach has
Absolutely no limit.
And when the day
Is done. When there
Is nothing left in
Sight, you lumber
Back to your cave;
Your humble abode;
Your comfort zone
Away from it all.
You lie back down,
In the depths of
Your cave, and doze
Off, dreaming sweet
Dreams. As I see
You, I feel envious
Of your life as a
Big, bad grizzly bear;
My younger brother.
