Wonderful Bears

By Ethel Jacobson

The wonderful bears in the zoo

Do wonderful tricks—they do!

They stand on their heads

And never fall;

They clap their paws

And catch a ball,

Then dance about

And pirouette

And bob and bow

Like a marionette.

And I know a few

Bright children who

Can’t do what the wonderful

Bears in the zoo,

With the greatest of ease,

All manage to do.

Well,

Can YOU?
