Annie Get Your Gun

Daily writing prompt
Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

I can’t decide if I would be a Bison or a Bear.

Both of these animals made themselves known to me when a late spring snowstorm befell Yellowstone National Park and we had to hightail it out to Bozeman to catch our flight back to Seattle.

Bear is a common term applied to larger men that are hirsute*

OTHER WORDS FOR HIRSUTE

synonyms for hirsute from dictionary.com

*as I grow a beard fast in three days and need to shave everyday if working in an office or in public.

Many consider me to be a bear, but I feel there is something just a little bit off about describing me as just a bear. I’ll use these two images of my favorite animals because the colors and background are very similar–as is the color of their hair. Both are also very formidable opponents in nature, and are usually best off left alone. This does describe me pretty well. I would rather be outdoors than inside, and I need freedom to roam. I am good-natured as my given Indian name, but don’t provoke me. I’m meaty and told I taste good. Protein is good for my muscles, but I do love an occasional hunny bunny. What more can I say? Oh, I do like coffee in the morning. . .

Leo, you’re up in my new moon!
