A rewrite from last winter

Bear Trap Revisited 13th Nov. 2017
As the weather takes on a chill,
while nothing so much as some might feel,
and others might wish for warmer climes
or fur-coat's fashion of former times,
I envy the bear that can hibernate
though it must come in fattened state
gorged with all that it might eat
from berries, to fish, to good red meat
yet, when the land is seared by cold,
when freezing Winter's grip takes hold,
cave warmed inside that shaggy pelt
it sleeps and dreams on lipid wealth
till Spring's kiss breaks the spell
on "Sleeping Bruin and A Winter's Tale"
