INSPIRATION: A newsfeed story related that a California man found his outdoor jacuzzi invaded by a bear who had climbed over his fence; the animal drank a cocktail at tub-side, then left the property and fell asleep in a nearby tree. Similar tales are not uncommon in the Pacific Northwest, but the current story of ursine home-invasion is considerably more elaborate than any single news report found online. 

THREE BEARS IN OUR HOT-TUB

(to the tune of "Three Coins in the Fountain")

Three-meter-high barriers

Should ensure your privacy.

Yogi swings with his cronies,

Down from that overhanging tree.

Three bears in our hot-tub

Each one loosening its bowels.

Good guests should wipe up messes;

These bears use our new white towels.

Three bears drank our cocktails,

Each snarfed snacks in our lanai.

Bare bears then tried romance

When margaritas got them high.

Is the new pool-liner wrecked?

Is the new pool-liner wrecked?

Three bears on our pool-deck,

Snoring after so much fun.

"I can no longer bear it - 

Get help! (I think that that's a pun.)"

"Nine-One-One.

Nine-One-One.

Nine-One-One."
