Another Polar Bear Cub!

Here's Wilbaer:



After Knut and Flocke, he's the latest German Celebrity Polar Bear Cub.

Honestly, though, this could be a year-old picture of Knut, or a three-month-old picture of Flocke, and we wouldn't know the diff, would we? Face it, all these cuties look alike to the untrained human eye.


How come Germany has become the Land of the Celebrity Polar Bear Cub? We actually have polar bears in this country and none of ours is a celebrity! This seems wrong.

Haiku time:

See the polar bear
He is big and beautiful
And can kill you, too.

Or a limerick:

There once was a bear named Flocke
Who happened to have a big c***
When little Knut saw it
He started to paw it
And said "You look just like John Locke."

JAW fan (who forgot to put his name under the Haiku above...but like anyone had any doubts as to who wrote it.)

NB: Obviously the above limerick is for a limited readership of 2 or 3.

...and it being Friday:

Oh, thank Christ, the weekend's here,
A two-day break for this rhyming queer.
I pray I meet some magic gnomes
Who'll bless me with a bag-o'-poems
So that when Monday rolls around
I'll be back on track like Ezra Pound.

JAW fan

Hmm. Your limerick, as delightful as it is, doesn't work because Flocke is a girl polar bear. oh well. Let us not allow a small error like that stand in the way of John Locke reference.

And your 3rd contribution is now neck-and-neck with the Stephen Chow one for No. 1 on my list. Who knew NaPoMo would get so exciting?

Who knew you knew who John Locke was? OHHH! You mean the writer, I thought you meant the guy from LOST. ha ha. BTW there's gotta be some more poetry coming for a polar bear named KNUT?
