Homie and the Binturong

Homie Bear said to the binturong
"How are you? It's been too long!
"Any chance I get to meet
"A fellow bear is quite a treat
"Let's celebrate and sing and dance
"I'll eat berries and you eat ants!"
The binturong said, "I'd love to chat
"But I'm not a bear I'm more of a cat
"I'm smaller than you and really quite frail
"And as you can see I have a long tail
"So obviously I am not of your genus
"You are like hockey and I'm more like tennis
"Nonsense!" said Homie, "Bears aren't exclusive
"We try to be friendship-conducive
"Bear, cat or human, it's all the same
"Inside is what matters, not what's our name"
So the binturong climbed down out of his tree
And joined paws and cheered with his new friend Homie!
