club where bears went
to grub, all they got was
a snub, because mother
had lost her ticket stub.
Page 4
Mother hated to lose the
stub, because that would
flub the grub, and the
other bears would dub
her a flubber.
...then served them for
dinner to the bears at
the club…

the club without a big
hubbub.

and began to grub, both
mother and cub.
