The Bear's Night Journey

A Bear’s Night Journey

When I started to travel this night

It seemed to be a very quick decision.

But I knew it would be all right,

My eyes are adapted to nighttime vision

I usually make these decisions alone

But this morning our group was called together

By our leader who said in an ugly tone

“You must bring more food before bad weather.

We almost always have food availability

And can fill up on fish and rabbits.

Next to our leader I have the best ability

But sending me off hunting is one of his habits

Tomorrow I must go through a human field

They have come to see all bears as danger

There is nothing I can do to make them yield

Then there will be a problem with the local ranger

But the journey has now begun
