Original DDE™ art: “Cadbury Crazy” by: rob kistner © 12/8/25
—-<§>—-
in the hush of Arctic midnight
when most sane creatures sleep
a giant Kodiak bear
lumbers through the snow’n sleet
an appointment he needs keep
driven by a sinister craving
a craving dark and deep
not salmon
not ripe berries
not moose steaks on the grill—
no
this bear wants Cadbury eggs
and he craves to get his fill
he raids the local sweet shops
trips the bells with joyful clout
paws the pastel wrappers
till the crème is all squished out
he stacks them like fine treasures
each egg a sacred prize
then toddles off in darkness
quite pleased with life
a subtle twinkle in his
Ursus arctos eyes
now folks in Nome
leave him offerings—
a box or two each night
in hope that Sticky
(the bear ‘s handle)
will spare their doors
and keep the peace polite
but still he comes a-rumbling
a legend now well known:
the mighty Cadbury-Crazed Kodiak
who rules the streets
and the sweets
