Bear With Me
I fondly remember the one time when
I attempted to smuggle my pet pan-
da out of the local zoo at ten pm!
It didn't work out well!
We were caught by the guard right at the en-
trance, they gave quite a start at my compan-
ion, they scrambled to sound the zoo alarm and then
they fainted on me!
We made sure the guard would be okay,
then we gather our stuff to slip away!
Alas, pandas ain't quite build for haste,
and I could only stand back as it fell face
first, tumbling towards the backup watchmen
You see I have bear with me, bear with me
a while longer, take your time
deciding just how scared to be
to be spared by the
fluffy monster by my side!
I'm begging you to hear me out,
give me a change to make it right
I know you're scared!
I've got bear with me,
so better bear with me tonight!
Thus, we found ourselves in quite a pickle,
but you know what they say "Fortune's fickle!",
its only fair to assume the same is also true
for catch 22's like this!
So right on the spot I came up with
this heart wrenching story of a kid
who wasn't allowed to eat sugary treats
'cause it had diabetes!
It had grown up to be a broken man,
never knowing the joy of simple can-
dy, without its comforting fulfilment
it finally snapped, got some deadly treats
and I am on my knees, 'cause that kid was me!
I've got a gummy bear with me, bear with me
a while longer, take your time
deciding just how fair to be
and if sparing me
would be worth this tiny crime!
Don't he look sweet - all black and white?
Like he could ease my troubled mind
and safe my life?
I've got bear with me,
so trade your bear with me tonight!
I must have cut quite a sorry figure then,
'cause they shut up, counselled briefly, and gave in!
They let us pass, and they took the jelly
black mail from my shaking hands!
And every fortnight
since that glorious day
I pick up panda
and hide him away
in a giant stroller,
and then we make our way
back to the zoo
to see his distant cousin
made by Haribo™!
