LOOK!

 Look!
Granny, look!
It’s a man with a bear
Look Granny!
It’s dancing
It’s a dancing bear

He’s not dancing
Of course he’s dancing, look!
That’s not dancing
Ok, he’s not very good
No he’s not
But he’s still dancing
No he’s not Davey
But why Gran
It’s a bit like when your father comes home from the pub
What do you mean Gran
He thinks he’s dancing, but he’s not, he’s staggering
That’s terrible Gran
What is
That man’s got his bear drunk
He’s not really drunk Davey
Then he’s not like my dad
Ok. I suppose not

Do you like the dancing Davey
Sometimes I do
Why sometimes
I don’t like waiting to be picked
Why not
Cause I never get picked
Why not
I don’t know, but I always end up dancing with the teacher
What if you don’t want to dance Davey
You don’t get a choice, Gran
What, you mean, they force you
Yes, they force me, I’d get the strap if I said no
You’d get the strap
Yes, and you’d still need to dance
So it’s a bit like the man with the bear
But, the man hasn’t got a strap
No Davey, but he has got a stick
Do you think that the bear doesn’t want to dance
I’m sure he doesn’t Davey
Nor does he want to get the stick
That’s really sad Gran
What is?
The bear; he’s really sad
Yes
And the man forces him to dance
Yes he does
Maybe the bear should force the man to dance
Maybe he should Davey
Maybe the bear should poke the man with the stick
Maybe he should but then the bear becomes as bad as the man
Bears are too nice for their own good
Well, Davey, they’re nicer than people
I think I’d like to be a bear
No Davey, you are just fine, as you are
I don’t want to be the man
Just don’t become that kind of man
Ok, Gran, I won’t
