Teddy

By Alexandra Gough

I love my teddy, I love him a lot

Some other teddy’s think he’s hot.

When I see him on the shelf

He looks so lonely by himself.

We play together in the sun

We have a lot of fun.

When it rains we stay inside

When we hear thunder we run and hide.

We both like windy days

And really big bays.

On hot days we go to the seaside

And watch the seagulls glide.

When I sit him on a chair

I see he’s losing his hair.

But I still love him no matter what

Because he’s my bear - in case you forgot.
