Sonnet

Friends

There once was a black bear in the forest,
that befriended a dumb gullable deer.
They loved to take food from the scared tourist,
and smuggle all of the guys home brewed beer.

The deer told the bear, "the world is spinning!"
When he took a big swig of the great ale.
The bear had no care, he just kept grinning.
Then he tripped over a brewski filled pail.

The deer laughed and laughed at his drunken friend.
The bear fell and was covered in mud.

He soon found that drinking would be his end,
while the deer burped a bubble from a sud.

The bear now has no friend, nothing at all.
Just bundles of deer meat, ready for Fall.
