A Limerick To Bear In Mind
This limerick was inspired by these two news stories:
1) Cable guy finds sleeping bear in NJ basement; and
2) Black bear hitched a ride in garbage truck to downtown Vancouver.
A Limerick To Bear In Mind
By Madeleine Begun Kane
I’m not shocked that wild bears misbehave.
We’ve been stealing their homes as we pave.
So in cellars they hide
And in garbage trucks ride:
That’s called thinking outside of the cave.

nice…crazy huh and we do mess up their environment sadly, always expanding leaving the husks of empty houses behind…
Great limerick! I remember a news-story from Yosemite several years ago about a bear driving a car that was left with the engine running. He didn’t get far before the crash.
Thanks Brian and Granny for your kind words and comments!
