Waking up too early, in quite a wretched fickle

Checking my coins, cannot even find a nickel

Spending my last bit of change last night

For a delicious Hershey bar, my delight

Taking a long, relaxing walk in the woods

Then finding myself farther than I should

Stopping to snack on a sweet Hershey bar

I realize that my journey has gone too far

Suddenly from behind a cluster of pine trees

Comes something much, much bigger than me

A hungry black bear scampers towards me

I flee the scene at a harried pace, you see

The famished bear welcomes a tasty, sweet treat

For my yummy chocolate bar has fallen at his feet
