Big and black, always in a hurry
To find good food we gotta hurry
Livin' within the trees
Always be buggin' by bees
No good place to sleep
Maybe we'll sit and weep
Little cubs to take care
All I am is one big, black bear
My body's so large
I look like I'm in charge
When really I must protect
My whole life a defect
Raidin' all the trash
Findin' nothin' worth any cash
Bein' friendly I don't dare
All I am is one big, black bear
To find good food we gotta hurry
Livin' within the trees
Always be buggin' by bees
No good place to sleep
Maybe we'll sit and weep
Little cubs to take care
All I am is one big, black bear
My body's so large
I look like I'm in charge
When really I must protect
My whole life a defect
Raidin' all the trash
Findin' nothin' worth any cash
Bein' friendly I don't dare
All I am is one big, black bear
i like the way your words flow as you read it
ReplyDeleteI love it! its really cute but i kinda makes me sad at the same time. It makes me think about black bears and their life and burdens. good job. i love the rhyme by the way
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I love the personality you put into it - it fits so well! Great job.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cute and funny poem. I would have never thought that being a black bear is such a burden. The line "My body is so large i look like I'm in charge" made me laugh and your voice shines through! Very nice
ReplyDeleteCreative idea for a burden poem...you could do a whole series of animal burden poems and make it into a children's storybook. Good alliteration in the line "always be buggin' by bees."
