Teddy Polar Bear Goes to School

Teddy Polar Bear Goes to School

I started school on Tuesday
Some said it was a crime
To take me from my Mummy
She said that it was time
I had my photo taken
I smiled a great big grin
I had a brand new backpack
To put Teddy Polar Bear in
He was a little frightened
When I put him in the car
I said it wouldn’t take long
We didn’t have to travel far
He was a little worried
When he saw the girls and boys
But Teddy Polar Bear was happy
When he saw all the other toys
Someone had brought a dolly
Someone had brought a frog
Another brought an elephant
Whilst one boy brought a dog
The toys were put together
In a little room next door
All a little nervous
Not knowing what was in store
We children went to sing a song
And hear a tale or two
And little Teddy Polar Bear
Didn’t quite know what to do
He said "hello" to elephant
He said "bonjour" to frog
He smiled at the little dolly
And waved at spotty dog
Then shortly after dinner
We had to take a nap
Teddy Polar Bear was happy
When I sat him on my lap
And as I laid upon the bed
I sighed a little sigh
I cuddled Teddy Polar Bear
And he told me not to cry
We’re going back tomorrow
You see that is the rule
For me and Teddy Polar Bear
Both have to go to school
