the monkey'd say
Am
D
So, with the courage of a clown,
Am
or a cur
D
Am
Or a kite, jerking tight at its tether
D
In her dung- brown gown of fur
Am
And her jerkin of swan's
D
Am
down and leather
D
Bear would sway on her hind legs

The organ would grind dregs of song

For the pleasure of the chil

dren who'd shriek

Throwing coins at her feet

and recoiling in terror

Verse 15
Deep in the night,
shone a weak and miserly light
Where the monkey shouldered
his lamp
Someone had told him the
Bear'd been wandering
a fair piece away
From where they were camped
Someone had told him the
bear'd been sneaking away
To the seaside caverns, to bathe
And the thought troubled the monkey
For he was afraid of spelunking
Down in those caves,
also afraid what the
Village people would say if they
saw the bear in that state
Lolling and splashing obscenely
Well, it seemed irrational, really
Washing that face,
washing that matted and flea- bit pelt
In some sea- spit- shine old kelp
dripping with brine
But monkey just laughed,
and he muttered
When she comes back,
Ursula will be bursting with pride
Till I jump up saying,
You've been rolling in muck
Saying, You smell of garbage and grime
Verse 16
Am
But far out, far out, by now, by now
Far out, by now, Bear ploughed
'Cause she would not drown
Verse 17
Am
First the outside- legs of the bear
Up and fell down, in the water,
like knobby garters
Then the outside- arms of the bear
Fell off, as easy as if sloughed
from boiled tomatoes
Lowered in a genteel curtsy
Am
Bear shed the mantle of her
diluvian shoulders
And, with a sigh she allowed the
burden of belly to drop
Verse 18
Like an apron full of boulders
Am
If you could hold up her threadbare
coat to the light
Where it's worn translucent in places
You'd see spots where
Almost every night of the year
Bear had been mending,
Verse 19
suspending that baseness
Am
Now her coat drags
through the water
Bagging, with a life's-
worth of hunger
Verse 20
Limitless minnows
Am
In the magnetic embrace,
balletic and glacial
Of bear's insatiable shadow
Verse 21
Am
Left there, left there
Am
Am
When Bear left Bear
Verse 22
Am
Left there, left there
E
Am
When bear stepped clear of bear
