The Bear and the Tree

One day, a bear strolled through the park,
and spied a tree, with talking bark.

"Come here closer," said the tree,
"and a richer bear for it you'll be".

"I'd almost do it," the bear said snarky,
"If I didn't know you full of malarkey."

"Snarky's no word," the tree replied.
"I'll give you gold. I've never lied."

"I never said snarky," the bear retorted.
"You're crazy tree, I'll have you deported."

"Settle down," the tree said low.
"I also grant wishes. Just so you know."

"Wishes huh?" said the bear.
"I'll use them right! I do declare!"

"Well," said the tree,"you're kind of a tool."
"I'll give you one. So make it cool."

The bear thought hard about the wish.
About berries and grubs, but mostly fish.

"I think I have it, and I've picked good"
"I wish for a mansion made out of your wood!"

"Alright," said the plant, "If that's what you want."
"I'll take you with me, you big furry cunt."

A with a poof they disappeared,
The tree told the truth, and wasn't weird.

A family moved the next day, and settled in snug.
To the magical tree mansion with a large bear-skin rug.
