Teddy Polar Bear Goes Missing

Teddy Polar Bear Goes Missing

Today was really horrid
Today was very weird
Today was sad because
Teddy Polar Bear disappeared

He was in my bed this morning
When I woke and rubbed my eyes
But he wasn’t there this afternoon
That was a big surprise

He’s usually right beside me
Or waiting on the chair
But when I went to have my nap
Teddy Polar Bear wasn’t there

I looked under the table
I looked in Mummy’s car
I looked behind the settee
He couldn’t have gone far

I went and asked my Sister
If she knew where he had gone
Perhaps he was beneath the cushion
That she was sitting on?

Alas I couldn’t find him
My Mummy said “look son
The last time that I saw him
You were feeding him a bun”

Then I suddenly remembered
Where I’d left that little soul
I’d put poor Teddy Polar Bear
In Mummy’s mixing bowl!

So quickly he was rescued
He had only been gone an hour
I dusted him down a little bit
As he was covered in flour

Teddy Polar Bear was angry
He really wasn’t faking
He won’t go in the kitchen
Next time my Mummy’s baking
