Something Sweet

The bear had a day,
was run off his feet,
and felt he needed
something sweet.

He looked around
and was very sad -
the pantry was empty,
no treats to be had.

He went next door
to borrow some jam,
but they had none
and offered him yam.

He stopped by the hive
and asked for some honey.
The bees were so sorry -
the batch was still runny.

He decided to settle
for cookie or cake.
The bakery was closed,
it was time for their break.

He looked to the moon
and said pretty please -
can I at least have
a small wedge of cheese?

The man in the moon
thought him a nutter -
who has cheese
without a cracker?

The bear was so tired
thought he might cry,
should he go home
or continue to try?

He was heading back
when he met a bear
with a big bag of candy
he was happy to share!

The day turned out well
because in the end
our bear got his treat
and made a new friend.
