Bear It

OK, it’s a grin-and-bear-it situation - or’m I merely 

pawing the problem with my claws the wrong way 

Hard for me to tell - I am rarely upright like this for 

lengthy bell-ringing, modestly returning gestures - 

Or if it matters, displaying humility with panache a 

soothsayer’d reckon had cutely hidden meanings 

The truth is I just bared my ursine credibility with a 

wave t’ th’ bleachers where my team cheer for me 

I’m a legend - even if I have to say its an act which 

pays dividends occasionally - in a toothsome way 

So we’ll leave at it that, until I learn how the fact of 

paw displays has weird palm-orientation meaning
