A bear's gotta do what a bear's gotta do. They must have a great time foraging for food at "Jellystone." Who could fault a bear for trying to grab some of the food. Your syllable count is perfect for the nonet format. As Yogi Berra said, "If you find a fork at Jellystone, there's got to be some food to go with. A fun poem. judi

Wasn?t it Yogi who also said, A bear by any other name would still smell bad.

Good thing to remember ~ don't feed the bears. This is a cute little poem as now we move into bears. I would say this is a truism that visitors to Yellowstone and elsewhere should heed. Marilyn

Would not want to see this old friend left out of a bear collection. Well rhymed and told the story of this guy's favorite activity.

You know it! One can never go wrong with Yogi and Booboo and especially when they are out snagging some pic-a-nic baskets.

Great fun, Bill and a good nonet too.

Lol. Thanks for the momentary trip down memory lane, Bill. Yes, I don't know what the appear of that troublesome bear was but as kids we always rooted for him and not the ranger. I liked your "unattended sandwiches" and your rhyming nonet.

Hi Bill. I had to look up booboo. I did not remember him though I watched the cartoon. It reminds me of this far side cartoon. In it people are sleeping on the ground in sleeping bags. Baby bear says " Look ma, sandwiches". It cracked me up for some reason. I think those people were unattended sandwiches. Lol. I enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing

No worries, before this overweight loser gets his paws on my peanut butter sandwiches, he will be a skinny hobo, he and Boo Boo too. Yeah Yogi, I said it and I mean it too. I'll put some buckshot where the sun don't shine if you ever come near my pica-nic basket.

Interesting how you've chosen to format this one...almost like it is drawing the reader's attention out away from the focus on Yogi. Not saying it's a bad thing as the rhyme's still there, just saying that it's noticeable is all. Not a criticism. Thanx for sharing... Yvette

I used to love watching the capers that Yogi and Booboo got up to. It's been a long time since I've watched it though. Yes, hold on to your picnics, Yogi is a sneaky one! LOL. Liked this bear, Bill! :)) Sandra xx

You have made my day! Yogi and boo boo bear was my favorite cartoon when I was young. I spent many happy hours watching yogi plan his picnic basket heists. Thank you for the memories.
