Father's bear lived in the shed
hidden from his family,
fed it when he had time off,
all alone, secretly,
One Tuesday, he had went away,
his boy had crossed the garden
and saw the bear, the bear saw him
and he ran back home screaming.
It was shame that stopped him from crying, telling anyone
about the bear that's locked away.
He didn't have the words to say...
And then one night at feeding time
Father had drank too much wine
and had forgot to lock the door
and left the bear wanting more...
At 10pm the bear broke free
and ate all of the family
as we lay asleep in bed
the hungry bear ripped off our heads.
Why couldn't he get rid of it?
It was very negligent.
But what is worse is we all knew
but didn't do what we had to do.
