My Wife and the Bear (A yarn...or is it?)
My Wife and the Bear
(A yarn, or is it?)
Ladies, you may think you're sexy,
That you're the greatest thing,
But women let me tell you of
The sexiest woman ever seen.
She was just a sweet young thing
When we said, "I do."
But let me tell you ladies,
She's a redhead through and through.
We chanced upon a Grizzly,
When walking one fine day,
Six hundred pounds of instant death,
And we stood in its way.
Now, I pity that poor Grizzly,
For he really got her mad,
And what happened to that Grizzly
Was really kind of sad.
Like a tornado born of fury,
She was an elemental force,
Like a comet plunging earthward,
She was locked onto her course!
I won't bore you with details,
Of proof I've not a trace,
But you should have seen the terror
Etched upon that Grizzly's face.
Now when I think of stepping out,
With some other lady-fair,
I can see the look of terror
On the face of that old bear.
Yes, I'm married to that redhead,
To her I'm always true,
For just like that old Grizzly,
I bit off more than I can chew!
