My Special Teddy Bear 'Beast'

With a leopard print skirt and bleached blond hair,
My teddy and I are going out to the fair.
My teddy’s all dressed up in his best clothes,
Getting ready to play one of our many shows.

My teddy and I have fun together on any day
No matter the weather.
Jumping and hoping to have some fun
My teddy and I are loving this one.

Jumping high on the bed,
Mum says, “Don’t break your head!”
Now it is time to go to sleep,
Cuddling up with teddy. Don’t peek.

My teddy’s so special and this is why -
Sometimes he makes me sit and cry.

For he is the one who reminds me of her.
My loving aunt who is now gone.
My uncle divorced her. How sad is that!
When I found out, I cried on my teddy’s back.

Now on my shelf my teddy lies.
All he does is remind me of my cries.
