A Hibernating Pregnant Bear

Food, give me food!
I've eaten the berries, the leaves,
the twigs, nowI'm gnawing the trunk.
Honey! Give honey me! I need sweet!!
I found a hive, ate the honey, the honeycomb,
the bees, the hive!  More honey, Give me more!
I ate a whole meadow bare, roots and all.
There was a moose there, I ate him first!
I'm so hungry! Give me food!!

 

I'm not really a bear, I just ate like one,
but I couldn't sleep through the night,
got up to prowl, sometimes to make a 3-o'clock

run to get more, a couple of cakes,

a tub of ice cream. I was like that,
but now I'm not, have found twelve simple steps
that made me human again.
