A Pair of Bears

We are bears of a pair
and don’t have a care.
We have coarse brown fur
but we don’t purr.
We love to eat honey
but it doesn’t cost money.
We live in a den
but come out now and then.
In the winter we sleep
so don’t make a peep.
We are big and tough
and we take no guff.
We are bears of a pair
so you should take care.
