Teddy Polar Bear – Gone but not Forgotten

Teddy Polar Bear – Gone but not Forgotten

On the seventh day of February
My mummy said to me
“We’re going off to Bordeaux
To see what we can see
First we’re going to Ikea
So don’t you make a fuss
And if you‘re good we’ll take you
To look round Toys-r-Us”

I had some birthday money
Mum had my Euros in her purse
But before I’d chance to spend them
Things went from bad to worse
We were playing in a ball pool
When my sister lost her tooth
Then she had to get a letter
So the tooth fairy knew the truth

We then went to the toyshop
Now that was much more fun
I spent my birthday money
I bought myself a gun
Next we went to have some dinner
That was another treat
So many lovely things to choose from
So much tasty food to eat

The day still wasn’t over
We’d more shopping left to do
And when we’d filled the trolley
We had to join the queue
Our day was nearly ended
Mummy said I’d been a star
I waited very patiently
As they loaded up the car

By then I was feeling sleepy
We’d had such a busy day
I looked around for teddy
But he had gone away
Who knows where I had left him
I didn’t have a clue
I cried because I’d lost him
And I bet that he cried too

I miss dear Teddy polar Bear
But I hope my favourite toy
Has found another playmate
A little girl or boy
