the death of FUNK bear






this bear could groove
he could wail like no other
since the day he emerged
from the womb of his mother
 

saxophones and trumpets
and the most raucous beats
were what pumped through his veins
they were his bread and his meat


but interests can quickly
become deadly obsessions
and the high they provide
prevents introspection


the beats grew wilder
the bass a hammer to the chest
the vibrations grew tangible
he felt the results were the best


long exposure without protection
proved dangerous, that’s clear
it shook his brain into jelly
and it oozed out his left ear

the death of LOW bear





the death of LOW bear

Wanting to achieve
Something of great worth
Was a goal of this bear
Since the day of his birth

But with such a deformed body
With ears drooping so low
No one noticed his sharp mind
All assumed he was slow

But his relationship with lowness
Seemed to be guided by a mean-spirited fate
Because he was also diabetic
But they discovered it too late

the death of FORTUNE bear





the death of FORTUNE bear



Born into riches
But raised out of rags
Because his once a millionaire father
Invested in faulty carpet bags

The company fell apart
And so did their lives
Good-bye mansions, hello dumpsters
And the most miserable of strife

But this bear had aspirations
Or an obsession more like
To gain it all back
And get an expensive dirt bike

Constantly squinting, he searched
And lunged for dropped money
While all the other bears
Found it quite funny

One day—a sign from Heaven—
“Fortune Just Ahead”
It wasn’t fortune, but Fort Une
And the militant bears shot him dead

the death of the ZIPPER bears



       the death of the ZIPPER bears

  Obsessions can be deadly,
 They can tear things apart,
    But for this bear couple
 It was only the start.

    Velcro couldn’t do it,
   Neither could snaps nor laces,
  It was zippers alone
    That put smiles on their faces.

 They designed zipper jewelry
     And opened a specialty store,
  But despite the lucrative outcome,
          They needed much more.

       They blazed through the research,
  They built a surgical room,
    Then they laid themselves down
 And took their final step towards doom.

  After the self-operation,
   Despite their most careful sewing,
 A sly infection slipped in
       Without them even knowing.

the death of "DIE, CLOWN!" bear



There’s a legend that states
When fresh from the womb
It didn’t take long
Until he shaped his first animal balloon

At age three he took make-up
And powdered his face
And performed comedic skits
Based off Will & Grace

After high school he moved on
And aced clown school
He was the best of the best
When acting a fool

But when his first gig came
To celebrate a cub’s ninth year of life
He frightened the youngster so badly
That he stabbed him with a knife

the death of MARSHMALLOW SOMBRERO bear




It had never been stylish
And it never would have been
But a marshmallow sombrero
Was the greatest invention to him


How he’d strut down the boardwalk
Through the cool night’s air
Gently nodding his head
At each shocked, staring bear


When the weather turned warmer
The sombrero he refused to remove
Even as it melted down his face
And he suffocated in the goo

the death of FACE bear




Somehow this bear was able to hide
A sickening cesspool of evil inside

His soothing demeanor, his noblest claims
Kept him safe from suspicion and multiple blames

When the mutilated animals began to appear
From all sneaking suspicions this bear remained clear

He claimed advancing science was his heart’s sole desire
But the means to his ends were atrocious and dire

Needles and tubes and the vilest machines
Employed without mercy to inspire pained screams

Until one afternoon, a subject broke free
Unprepared he was, for this enraged monkey

The primate reacted, no time he did waste
He lunged at the bear and ripped off half of his face
