Claire! it's unfair
your foolish dare
my rocking chair
has grizzly bear
with dreadful glare
for he does share
with polar bear
whose awful stare
could light a flare
I do declare
now they're aware
of my spare pear
in earthenware
I doubt they'll share
my rocking chair
or luscious pear
or rare cookware
I'm in despair
shoo bears elsewhere
where is their lair?
should send them there
oh no, I swear!
my sweater spare
will surely tear
beyond repair
a real nightmare!
never mind claire
no longer scared
breath of fresh air
out of my hair
whew! I don't care
claire, that's your chair.
