Furry Bear
by A. A. Milne
If I were a bear,
And a big bear too, I shouldn’t much care
If it froze or snew;
I shouldn’t much mind
If it snowed or friz—
I’d be all fur-lined
With a coat like his!
For I’d have fur boots and a brown fur wrap, And brown fur knickers and
a big fur cap. I’d have a fur muffle-ruff to cover my jaws, And brown
fur mittens on my big brown paws. With a big brown furry-down up to my
head, I’d sleep all the winter in a big fur bed.
Grizzly Bear
by Mary Austin
If you ever, ever, ever meet a grizzly bear, You must never, never,
never ask him where He is going,
Or what he is doing;
For if you ever, ever dare
To stop a grizzly bear,
You will never meet another grizzly bear.
