Poetry for Children

Where is my Bear?

I don’t want this bear,
A never been kissed bear,
I only want my bear,
My smelly one-eyed bear,
My cosy old scruff bear,
My limp empty fluff bear,
Oh where is my bear?

I don’t want new bear,
This smells like shampoo bear,
This fake phoney guest bear,
Who’s dressed in his best bear,
I need to find old bear,
My easy to hold bear,
Oh where is my bear?
