As nearly as Saul can recall/ the bear seemed remarkably small./ being too brave to flee/ he just mimicked a tree./ Saul’s been laid up for weeks, after all…
To cross him his foes scarcely dare/ put off by his murderous glare/ neither Senate nor House/ can stand up to the louse/ – but he didn’t impress the bear.
I immediately thought of French actor Antoine Dulery, which if you’ve never seen The Little Murders of Agatha Christie, means nothing to you. Where’s Rentier?
Saul lives in a world of suspicion/ like a Czarist spy, on a mission/ but girls are not caring/ for Saul’s bearish bearing/ so Saul never achieves coition.
After carving an A for anarchy in the tree, he wandered off to the political demonstration where he was sure he would be unrecognized in his new disguise.

His excessive concern for his suede/ a garment so proudly displayed/ may account for the fact/ that he’s never attacked/ by ladies who hope to get laid.

The bear settled for the hat, and now he’s one debonair bear while Saul has wind blown hair.
