oreo, the ordinary, ordinal bear

Hello,

I am a bear;

  I steal stuff from coolers

I like to walk naked

  through the woods

  and I totally enjoy it

Around noon everyday (unless the sky is crying)

  I sit in my river and

  watch the water wrigglers

  nip at my dirt caked feet

At night I climb up

  my fav-o-rite tree and

  wonder why I don’t have a thumb –

    if I did,

    I would play gameboy all day

Last year, around Christmastime

  I overheard a moose

    crying

  as it rubbed itself

  on my fav-o-rite tree –

  I was scared

I like to sit

  on picnic tables

  and wonder why

  moose cry during

  wet nights;

  I hope to console

  that crying moose one day

Sometimes I see bright

  colors in the distance

  in the open field by

  my latrine and I like

  to observe the colors as

  I do my business
  and I'm afraid that
  something may smell it.

When it rains, I
  lie down next to my
  fav-o-rite tree and
  pretend that I am a worm
  crawling through the
  mud. I try eating the
  dirt but it tastes like
  the droppings from the
  little spiny things.

Last night, I was awake
  watching the twinkles in the sky
  when I heard moose cry again -
  I was ready this time
  so I climbed down from
  my fav-o-rite tree and tried to
  put my arms around moose's neck...
  The last thing I saw was a leathery nostril
  glimmering in the soft light as
  moose headbutted me.
