Not Around Here, They Don’t

Do bears poop in the Woods?

Well

Not around here, they don’t
They come knocking
at our back door
Rather politely, like
Some 50s Avon Lady

It’s best to answer promptly
for if their need is great
They can be rather less than
mannerly

They are quite neat about the whole
business, never leaving a real mess
unlike some men, cowboys let’s say
who have more disturbing bathroom
habits than their horses

For bears, our bathroom can be tight fit
Almost like a magic act, the bear
bathroom magic show
Perhaps taken on the road to all the best
Second rung Tourist Traps in the far Balkans

Do bears poop in the woods?

Sometimes, of course, especially
if they are shy about knocking, but usually
Around here, they prefer the privacy
of our bathroom.

Isn’t Civilization grand!
