🐻

It’s Fat Bear Week, oh what a treat
To see the chonkest of bears compete
They wiggle and wobble, oh so round
Who will be the fattest bear crowned?
 
Eating, then napping, then eating one more. 
They stuffed their faces with salmon galore
Their bellies grew large, their fur full of fluff
Ready for winter and looking quite buff
 
So join the party and cheer on each bear
Vote for your favorites; show them you care
By the end of the week, a champion will rise 
Best of luck to all who seek the grand prize!
