Drop bears are rarely seen,
Their habits mostly unknown,
Their lairs hidden from sight.
These creatures are cruel and nasty;
We only know where they’ve been,
Sharp teeth like sharks
And claws strong and big
From shredding tree bark.
Waiting for their victim, they perch in the trees
While the tourists wander unsuspectingly,
Stupid enough to wander about
At the edge of the campfire light,
When—woof!—a drop bear lands
From overhead with a blood-curdling growl—
And the result is a bloody mess,
An unspeakable sight, a cruel attack.
So, tourists, be warned of our native wildlife.
While you are told
There are no dangerous animals,
Always be on the lookout;
Always keep an eye open
For our unique, elusive,
And dangerous drop bear.
