Springtime for the Bears
 
Hey, Little Bear,
Where d’ya think you’re going,
Dressed all fine,
On this beautiful spring morning?
Do you even know?
Do you even care?
The only thing that matters is
It’s spring time for the bears.

The sun is shining,
Your bowtie’s spinning,
Birds are wheeling high above you
In the hot blue sky.
Give it up.
Raise a paw.
You know you wouldn’t
Be here if it
Wasn’t for the thaw.


Hey little bear
Where d’ya think you’re going
All bright eyed
On this beautiful spring morning?
How you going to get there?
Do you even know?
The only thing that matters is
there’s no more snow

The air is warming,
The trees are teeming,
Lady bears are waiting for you,
with flowers in their hair,
Give it up.
Raise a paw.
You know they wouldn’t
be there if
it wasn’t for the thaw.

Hey, Little Bear,
Where d’ya think you’re going,
Dressed all fine,
On this beautiful spring morning?
Do you even know?
Do you even care?
The only thing that matters is
It’s spring time for the bears.

I'm wondering if another verse would be good. Maybe something that has the bears together...or not. Imma mull that over a bit.

i like where it ends, imho. it's full of hope and promise.

i was going to say i want to be the bear, he seems so happy. :)

I like the rhythms of this one (and it's "symmetrical" construction!) Makes me think of a little song.

Thanks:)

Very much written as a song. If I had the ability to write music I would be able to share the tune too :P

Though it may be,
Spring time for the bears,
A Ray of light is,
Bursting through my tears,
All Fear has been erased,
And the picture balked first base,
So now it's time to focus on good,
and win the game,
I'm not in it for the fame,
I'm in it for the love,
Haven't you heard,
The Sky Dancer,
Got tagged out at third.

DISAPPOINTED!

Springtime as all one word always makes me think of one thing:

Springtime for Hitler

I like the cadence.
Calls to mind U A Fanthorpe's poem Men on Allotments
