Twas the night before Christmas

And the birds were bright

They thought nothing could go wrong on Christmas

But little did they know that deep inside the forest

Man was digging and uprooting the trees

A little black bear saw them

And ran away in fright

For, to her, the lonely spirits deep in the bark

The trees were crying out with all their might

The little black bear with her friends, the grizzly and the polar

Threw the mankind out

Deep into the hole of Tatarus

Until they promised to do right

The men were then kind and tending to their farms

And the women prayed for Mother Earth day and night

The little black bear played with them by day

And watched high atop the trees by night

Smiling to herself, saying she did right
