The polar bear numbers are down.
No! they’re breeding like rabbits, you clown!
So grizzlies we’ll make ‘em;
It’s not hard to fake ‘em –
We’ll catch ’em and dye ’em all brown!
I’m sorry, Dennis, but I HAD to laugh because the first thought I had after reading this was that things are so screwed up over here on our side of the pond that any number of idiots would probably decide that this suggestion of turning the whites to browns is “racist,” and you’d find yourself facing a lawsuit. That’s the level of insanity we’re dealing with.
Can you bear it Sandra…..
Okay, I laughed right out loud at your answer. You’re a master at puns in the poems (please note the effective alliteration), but I see you use them creatively in regular conversation as well.
And in answer to the question: No. It’s becoming more unbearable every day.
