Beside that rock

Beside that rock in salty air
Retreats a tired and sleepy bear
High waves now start to pound his toes
Long willow leaves then poke his nose
And flounders jump out everywhere

Why does the bear with hoary hair
Relax in here, not in his lair?
Why does this weary bear not doze
Beside that rock?

A birdcall sends a smile so rare
Across his face not really fair
His dangling tongue now quickly grows
From which profusely fluid flows
Where does he drool for an affair?
beside that rock
