A Bear is a BEAR

(except when he’s not)

Karl Newson &

Anuska Al lepuz

A bea r is a bea r.

Except when he’s not . . .

What would he be, if a bea r forgot?

hy . . .

Perched in a nest,

wondering why he outgrew al l the rest.

Wondering why he cannot fly . . .

Wondering why, with a heavy sigh,

“If I’m not a bird, then what am I?”

For a bea r is a bea r.

Except when he’s not . . .

What would he be, if a bea r forgot?

Why . . .

a moose, of course!
