The Dancing Bear

A giant bear danced into the village,
stumbling on heavy feet,
snarling nonsense at the sky.The villagers pointed,
mimicked his clumsy dance,
and laughed until they hurt.“Look at the idiot!”While they laughed,
the bear moved closer.
And closer.Then someone noticed
a remnant of cloth,
bloody and torn,
caught in his enormous claws.“Look!” he cried.But no one heard him.They were laughing too hard.
