The Bear

The bear wouldn't show up

As his life wouldn't grow up 

He slept all day long 

And dreamt of a tuneless song 

He didn't know what was wrong

Called it winter 

as he dozed off

under a candle light

He just wouldn't show up

As everyone pleased

He just wouldn't show up

Even if the Jungle ceased

Nestled up in the blanket

He had his winter in his pocket

Until his eyes would open again

He just dreamt of a song

and lived by

He just wouldn't show up

For the party under the moonlight

And even at times when the fishes came knocking on his door

He held on to his winter

As the days got tougher

Inside his house of wood cabin

He just lay there

Eyes pressed tight

Some old memories

Shuffled like a deck of cards

He was trying to remember

the songs 

his mom put him to sleep with

He slept all day long 

All days throughout the year

Called it winter and snoozed off

Like a frozen kite 

On a stormy night.
