    Somewhere over a black bear, way up high
    There’s a site where they list stuff that makes you ask, “But why?”.
    Somewhere over a black bear, Sparkies sell,
    And the crap that you dare to list just might sell as well.

          Answer 1: 13′-6″. Clarence is one tall dude.
          Answer 2: Ask someone smarter than me. I’m vexed.

    This was my bear. My parents donated it to a children’s hospital.
    And yes, I’m over it.

    Some days you get the bear, some days the bear gets you. This could be one of the former, if you call now.

    I can’t see what is being sold in the photo. The ad poster apparently wants it to be a surprise. Otherwise the photo would show what is over the bear.

    A bear is a bear. Beware! Beware!
    And no one can outrun a bear ‘cept a hare.
    Unless of course you are also a bear,
    Like the the five foot bear named Ted.

    Fun with nostalgia.

    Ah, camp songs.

      Goin’ on a bear hunt.
      Can’t go over it.
      Can’t go under it.
      Gotta go through it!

      Did y’all have that one at your camp? There were noises you were supposed to make, too.

        Didn’t have that one. The verse I entered above is the first of several that includes the bear saying “why don’t you run ’cause I see you ain’t got any gun”, the person running away, seeing a big tree with a branch 10 feet up, the dude jumping and missing, but catching it on the way back down. I led the song my last year on staff at camp. Good times. We did occasionally have actual bears in camp, but there was never a live-action reenactment of the song.

          Yep, I remember that song. Couldn’t have told you the verses, but then I was just a girl scout, not a counselor.

    What is the silvery domey thing behind the bear? Is it a space suit helmet for the bear?

    Five foot two,
    Fur of black,
    Posted on a Craigslist ad –
    Has anybody seen my bear?

    Excellent condition,
    Cash only,
    Seated on a Sparky’s bench –
    Has anybody seen my bear?

    Now if you run into
    A teddy bear
    Under a five foot,
    Disregard
    That Under Bear –
    I only want an Over Bear.

    Five foot two
    Eyes of brown
    Only slightly overbearing,
    Has anybody seen my bear?

    Sparkette appears to be holding the black bear over a tarp on the floor. So whatever’s over the bear, it must be messy.
