What kind of animal would I be?


by Lerk                 
I'd be a Grizzly Bear, with a limp 
cute and cuddly-looking 
until you crossed too close 
then, wham! off flies your head 
in a southerly direction 
while your body still points North                 
I'd be a Grizzly Bear, with a limp 
all furry and sweet and nice 
until you spammed or threatened me 
then you'd better book 
while you still have feet. 
the last pair hang on my mantle.                 
I'd be a Grizzly Bear, with a limp 
just to be fair, the gait 
would give a moment's head start 
to give both you and I a chance 
to reconsider your approaching doom.
