Should Be My Teddy Bear
Should Be My Teddy Bear
Always assumed that he was an attribute
Could be chided into teaching us how to compute
And point to this applied was totally moot
Realizing how smart he was as well as astute.
Ogden Nash obviously did roll over in grave
When he had discovered what kind of wave
Swept over poetry world and was prepared
For poets we had found out to be fair haired.
Each poet we discovered was with much wit
Amongst us were poets who already admit
They and their poems were coming of age
Comments committed must be locked in a cage.
Admittedly admired promising poets already
Did decide to taunt by giving them a Teddy
Who had been a most beautiful brown bear
Roosevelt's were running around everywhere.
You should try thinking about this poem for
more then just a minute or two. Adams, Bush's
and Roosevelt's have already come in pairs.
So instead of saying who cares do you think
we should have to sit and stare at another
pair who both together think they are beyond
compare. Consider this as being my Will Rogers
oriented poem of the day. Of the trade there are
many tricks. Especially when it comes to politics.
Right?
I still have over 4,800 characters remaining.
