"Baby-Bumble-Bear"

I came upon a unique beast today:
It had a yellow coat with stripes of grey.

A stubby little tail and tiny feet
And fuzzy fur that seemed to smell so sweet.

It wasn’t very big, about knee-high
With curling eyelashes above each eye.

A sweet round face, a little button nose
And curling tufts of fur around its toes.

A chubby body, like a baby bear,
But when it purred, I had to stop and stare!!

Well, maybe not a purr, Perhaps a buzz?
Well, possibly a hum, is what it was.

It stopped to eat a flower next to me.
It looked just like a baby bumble-bee!

And then I knew, I’d seen a beast so rare...
It was a baby of the Bumble-Bear!
