Bear Lee Made It!

While out hiking,
in Mother Nature's backyard,
Jan and I are absorbing
the super spectacular intriguing
beauty.
And all of Nature's sounds.
Bird songs, truly to our liking.
When all of a sudden!
Jan and I hear a loud breaking,
and crashing,
back in the brush.
The thunderous noise,
grows near!
What should our searching
eyes behold?
A mother bear, with a cub!
Rushing at us, ever so bold.
Bear Lee sent her cub,
scrambling up a fir tree.
And continued her charge!
in leaps and bounds.
Yes! two canisters of
pepper spray were at the ready!
For pepper spray to be fully
effective, the bear must be within
four meters.
Bear Lee, got within ten meters!
Then the walking instructor's
lungs were filled to the max,
releasing the call of the wild.
Bear Lee made it!
Mother bear, spun on her heels,
and loped back beneath the trees,
without tasting well shaken,
pepper spray.
Bear Lee retrieved her cub,
the pair went bushwhacking,
streaking through the timber,
as fast as the they could go.
The last Jan and I saw of Bear Lee
and her offspring were,
their Bear behinds.
As they scurried through the
underbrush.
