You all know why

Big Bear came in a blue cap

Acted as if he was a cop

He walked with a swagger

Clutching a wooden dagger

He glared at the monkey

And thrashed the old donkey

He shouted at the brown fox

And kicked the sleeping ox

He pocked in the elephant’s ear

Abused him too, we did all hear

He shouted and bragged

His dirty finger he wagged

“Mind you, empty-heads and all

The big and the small

I am a rough fellow

Be ready to swallow

Bitter dose that I will give

For I don’t  forgive

Follow all rules, one and all

Or be ready to jump and crawl

Mind you, I am the king’s cop

And I am right at the top”

Everyone got scared

But the owl hardly cared

He laughed and hooted

He shouted and disputed

“You just trying to fool us

It be good if you don’t fuss

This cap you found in a ditch

And the dagger is a snitch

You think I am not aware

But my friend, I was there

Hear me all, young and old

All that you were told

Was nothing but trash

This bumpkin is a big brash”

Now, that truth was out

They all began to shout

Everyone lost his cool

Everyone acted like a fool

They all attacked the bear

And kicked him in the rear

Big Bear began to cry

And we all know why.
