Backyard Bear (Brownstein/Amarante)

Think I'd like to dig a den, once I’ve got the goods

I’ve rambled, ambled, sulked, and swam, in these waning woods.

Please don't banish your rubbish far, I'll most gladly share

The neighborhood is a safer place with a bulky backyard bear

Smoked steak on a can of flames, how’s that branch of birch?

I’m bouncy like a frog for flies, can I taste your work?

My daddy’s father was less polite, I’m my mother's cub

I take my meat medium rare, I’ve got regard for my grub

One man's trash is tasty treasure

One thick woods is a place for pleasure

Symbiosis makes a simple summer

A backyard bear is a being of wonder

Old world, but the modern kind, I wear a vegan coat

Real fur, although no one died, it’s just an anecdote

Who loves sugar like a cavity? Pass your bag of sweets

Halloween and I needn’t hide: Hello, trick or treat

Winter naps are like a weekend- Friday like the fall

Sunday evening brings some relief, but by Monday comes the haul

Come catch me on your evening stroll, I’ll share what I retrieve

Would you share just a bit of yours, and try and act neighborly

One man's trash is tasty treasure

One thick woods is a place for pleasure

Symbiosis makes a simple summer

A backyard bear is a being of wonder
