My Teddy Bear Fell Out the Bed

I have an awful sense of dread,
When I wake up and of my ted
I cannot see a single shred:
My teddy bear fell out the bed!

I look down to the floor and stare,
And on the carpet is my bear.
My little teddy lying there,
His four limbs pointing to the air.

I lift him back up from the floor,
And tuck him into bed once more,
Then kiss the bear that I adore,
And cuddle him and start to snore.
