"GRIZZLY" (KATE'S BEAR CHALLENGE)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Underneath this sleeping form,
The heart of a killer beats,
Underneath this mound of fur,
A grizzly that stands eight feet,
Underneath these five inch claws,
The remains of meals it ate,
Underneath this napping bear,
Gathering its winter weight,
~
Underneath this sleeping form,
Lives a hunter wanting food,
Underneath this mound of fur,
Lives a nasty attitude,
Underneath these five inch claws,
Lives a temper that's been earned,
Underneath this napping bear,
Lives a lesson to be learned.
~
LESSON:  DON'T WAKE THE BEAR.  LET SLEEPING BEARS ALONE.
~
GOOD NIGHT, MR. BEAR.  MAY THE LIGHTS BRING YOU PLEASANT DREAMS.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Very nice way to meet Kate's challenge, Karla. I have the picture but haven't yet gotten the inspiration. LOL at Andy's comment.
Take care,
Sherry

There is a law in Alaska that prohibits anyone waking a bear up to take his picture. I think I would skip on even trying. Let the bears be.
