Granny & The Bears Once upon a time, Not so long ago, I went to visit Granny Through the winter ice and snow. But I was not the only one To visit on that day; To avoid the horrid winter cold Some creatures came to stay. And now there was a family Of enormous grizzly bears living underneath My old grandmother’s stairs. I warned: Be careful Granny Going upstairs to bed. One of those bears might just attack And gobble up your head. She said, “They’re hibernating dearest, So they’ll do me no harm. I just have to be careful, And quiet, And very calm. Come Spring they’ll wake refreshed And return then to the wood. And everything will be normal – As everything normal should”. That evening I made popcorn, It woke the sleeping bears. They woke as poor old Granny Was walking down the stairs. Granny was unlucky; On the stairs at the wrong time, And the family of bears were hungry, And all prepared to dine. Unfortunately there was nothing That I or poor Granny could do, And the bears ate her up piece by piece; They left only her left shoe. The bears having had their fill Returned to their cosy bed. I took my popcorn, hat and coat, And I ran for my #life and fled.
