Hello there, stranger
please, bear with me
I've something to tell you
Something for you to see

My kind are peaceful
Predatory in nature
We're bearing the brunt
Of a much terrible future

I grin and bear it now
Pawsing for your snapshot
You tasty human thing
I bear witness to your plot

Come close to yours beastly
No grizzling allowed now
How unbearable it can be
When I'm hunting for my chow

Goodbye now stranger
Please don't bear a grudge
One has to be ready for winter
And let those judgers judge
