Bi-Polar Bear Collaboration With Jan Allison

BI-POLAR BEAR COLLABORATION WITH JAN ALLISON I love living in the Arctic The cold I find so cathartic But you must beware I'm bi-polar bear If crossed I can be anarchic I'm really a huge white bi-polar bear You can take my photograph, laugh and stare But if you come too near You'll have reason to fear If I'm in Hyde's mood you'd better take care! I'm usually very docile and quite nice Relaxing on the shelves of polar ice For food I am howling My tummy is growling I need to catch some tasty fish to slice I possess great big furry white paws But at times I can show my sharp claws So don’t mess with me Cos I can be nasty My emotions have no get out clause I don't really like eating seal blubber It's tasteless as a tire made of rubber And I don't like to swim Unless I have the whim I should have been born as a land lubber My smile can turn into a frown One minute I’m up, next I’m down I can lash out at you So whatever you do Don’t call me a stupid bear clown When I'm feeling like good Doctor Jekyll I don't care if you tease me or heckle I'll toss you my poop Big scoop after scoop Til I've covered all your little freckles On a good day I’ll smile so nice Enjoying white fish which I’ll dice See me bask in the sun Then I’ll go for a run And play with my friends on the ice I feel a weird change, a rumbling inside An avalanche of emotions, a landslide My claws are extended Your visit has ended Red mist all around ~ turning into Hyde! The truth, it cannot be denied I’m a bit like Jekyll and Hyde You'd better leave town When red mist comes down Or run to take cover and hide!

You two are very creative and so much fun to read, talking of which . . . I'm going for a second 'scoop' 'cause it's truly delectable in spite of the poop. A7:)
