Osler's Razor: Bears!

Bears!

Wow! There were lots of fantastic haiku about bears this week. I was quite taken by this one and its sartorial insights:

Smokey and Pooh Bear
A sartorial contrast
No shirt or no pants?

Another poster went to one of my favorite bears:

Favorite bear is Pooh
Loves snacks and all his good friends
Piglet, Eyore, Owl.

Craig A makes a good point:

Sea kayaking in
British Columbia; the
Best bears are not seen!

While Sleepy Walleye has a northwoods memory (and I hope someday to name a second home "Doomed Cabin"):

Howard sits in ambush
Waiting for the rogue black bear
Protects doomed cabin.

Intriguingly, our two Northern Virginians both seem disappointed in Smokey The Bear. First IPLawGuy:

Smokey comic book
An inspiration! Real Bear
Just slept at the zoo.

Then Des:

Drove 2 hours to
see Smokey’s gravesite. Who’d have
thought they’re closed Mondays?

This anonymous entry was more Smokey-positive:

Love the bear who says
Only you can prevent fires!
Forest bear who cares 🌲

Christine brought a different perspective:

Paddington Bear, chic...
Gallooshes, rain hat and coat
A forever friend.

IPLawGuy had complaints against a second bear:

Gentle Ben, sort of
a Shark Jump after Flipper
Prefer Mr. Ed.

But there was one he likes:

Yogi was smarter
Than the Average, Breezly
was just as clever.

An anonymous poster also liked Yogi:

Who was Boo-Boo to My
Yogi? To be crazy—Your
Bud always says ,”yes!”

And this anonymous poster offered a good one:

I want to have tea—
With a bear. Eatgrowl my scones—
In one gulp eclairs!
