We were just back from Europe
Our apartment was small
We were getting depressed
In the land of strip malls
My fellow traveler and funky girlfriend
Both us feeling the walls closing in
Get in the Honda
And head toward the mountains
Looking to rejuvenate
In nature’s wonderful fountain
We found our spot and settled in
This is where the adventure begins
Cooking raw chicken
On busted tree limbs
We heard a strange noise
Coming from down the mountain
It was so far away
Is why we weren’t afraid
Wrapped up in blankets
That cold autumn night
Feeling the warmth of the fire
Everything seemed just right
When a loud and horrible roar
Came from just past our fire light
We ran to the car and locked the doors tight
We looked at each other
This isn’t right
All our things including the keys
Are still at the camp site
Our car was parked beside a drop off
In a precarious position
We needed our keys
To end this rejuvenation mission
A nudge from a bear would send us on a long rolling trip
We sat in the car and I suggested we flip
See my girlfriend was on a feminist kick
She never wanted me to hold open a door
Or carry the bags home from the store
A flip seemed modern and fair
She lost the flip
So she would be facing the bear
I kissed her good-bye
All she did was stare
Stare at the man
That gave her the ultimate dare
I kissed her again and flew out the door
Scooping up our stuff as I roared
Back to the car in a flash
Down the mountain we went
Back to the reality of paying rent
Nature’s fountain had rejuvenated our core
We were feeling much better than before
Our little apartment
Didn’t seem so bad…
Anymore

If I had made her go, you would see my face next to “shame” in the dictionary. Forever. And ever.
Ah yes. You’re absolutely right. And “stupid things guys will do for chicks,” too. Really, I just wanted the beer. Just kidding.
When man verses bear it’s only fair the bear should win . Acknowledging the better part of valor , priceless ! …
*laugh* brilliant. you forgot to list ‘the perils of feminism’ in your tags.
