Wildlife

I think I'd like to stay awhile,

Far inside a wood,

Smell the flowers, walk for hours,

I think maybe I should.

But then I think of what I saw,

On Facebook just today,

A bear was running near my home.

I am filled with much dismay!

So instead of rusticating,

In some lonely spot,

I think I'd rather move someplace,

Where the bear is not!
