Teddy Bear

Teddy flops as he plays with me so gently and quietly.
We call our friends over to play.
All day we play hide and seek and tip.
We play and we play and then it stops.
As night falls we get scared.
We run into our kingdom and hide.
The guards come out to protect us while we sleep.

In the morning we go to the park.
We play on the slide and on the swings.
We get hungry so we go to McDonalds.
After a full day, bed beckons me and teddy again.

In the morning teddy is missing.
I can’t find him anywhere.
He’s gone!
I look in the lounge room, in the kitchen, in the laundry,
I look in the attic and in the study.
I look in my bedroom and I look under the covers.
There he is!
My friend is safe so I’m safe.
