Excited Teddy Bears

Two teddy bears, named Ted and Fred, Packed a picnic basket with buns, And home-made bread, Keep to the path their mummy said, So off they went, along the way, Happy teddy bears were Ted and Fred, We’re going to the woods’ hurray, What a lovely, happy first of May, Was this exciting warm Spring Day. They swung their basket as they skipped, They sung and saw fresh berries’ Which they picked, Poor little Fred his finger pricked, It’s just a scratch, Big brother said, But we must be careful, said Ted, It’s going to rain, must find A safe, dry place, Fred began to cry, tears streaked Down his face. The clouds were building up in the sky, Lightning and thunder way up high, Each one pulled up their hood. Brrr………… its getting cold, Don’t walk so fast Ted, said little Fred, I’m scared, are we so very lost, No, Ted replied, but we must find The path back home at any cost. Big brother looked helplessly around, Felt hopeless, for young brother Fred Who wanted mummy, what if they could not Find their way back home, what a dread, That would break their parent's heart, Shhh ……. Fred, said Ted, lets' find the path, where did we start'. Mama and papa bears began to worry, They put their raincoats on, And went into the woods, where are my Baby bears mama cried, Freddy and Ted. Papa bear bravely took the lead, Mama don’t fret said he, We will find them soon you’ll see. Both plump and slow, Papa started to sing, I know, Singing calms you down, join me. The little bears heard their parents singing, Excited, they began flinging Up their scarves and hats, screaming, We are over here, we are over here, They ran into each other’s arms, so glad, All were so happy, this picnic, Could have ended sad, For eventually no picnic was even had. They all joined hands and sung, As their voices merrily rung Through-out the woods. They got back home papa, Fred and Ted Watched TV, Whilst mama bear prepared supper happily, She read them nursery rhymes in bed, They fell asleep, she tucked them in, Sleep well my babies, mama said.
