JUST GOOD FRIENDS

Two bears looked in each other's eyes
And liked what they saw there,
It really caught them by surprise
As they began to care...
But then the gossip that bears start,
With knowing looks and such,
Was quick to say that each sweetheart
Had proved their love so much!

'We're just good friends!' the two replied,
Frustrated as could be,
Despite their feelings deep inside
Still longing to be free!
'Of course, of course, just buddies now,
Just comrades walking close,
Let's just stay calm, no need to row...
But let's see if love grows!'

'Were just good friends!' the bears explained,
Yet glad that bears don't blush,
Despite the anger they restrained,
Adrenalin full rush...
'Of course you are, the two of you,
But don't think you're unique!
We know what friendship leads bears to
And can't wait till next week!'
