Saw a video of bears jumping into
and swimming in backyard swimming pools

I’m thinking, the audacity, the nerve, of these
trespassing bears

where are the police when you need them?

these law breaking bears should be arrested,
cuffed, and thrown into the back of a squad car

driven to the police station
charged with trespassing and jailed for a night

we need to start making examples of out them
they need to learn that trespassing,
like crime, doesn’t pay

I’m kidding, of course

it was fun and amazing to see these bears
frockling in swimming pools

unless it was your swimming pool
and you had to compete with bears to use it.
