Lost Teddy Bears
The Lost Teddy Bears.
What adventures will today
Our Teddy Bears complete
When they all go out to play
At the park just down the street.
Lisa has a picnic made
With cakes and bread and cheese
Water, Coke and Lemonade
And lollies that they freeze.
They make camp near a roundabout
On mats they carried down
As taught them by a boy scout
they’d met one day in town.
Off to find the magic cave
Our Freddy took the lead
They needed to be very brave
And they were indeed
They went into the diamond room
And tried to fill their boots
But feeling round now in the gloom
Got tangled in some roots
Rupert sent out for some help
Got lost along the way
But then he heard a guard dog yelp
And sturdy policeman say
“We need to make a thorough search
5 Bears they have been lost”
We’ve looked about down by the church
Our paths they may have crossed.
Rupert shouted “Here we are”
At the entrance to the hole.
“We’re not in here so very far
Thank goodness your patrol”
With practiced ease our policeman found
The little bears now frightened
Perhaps if not been for his hound
Their cries would not be quietened.
At last now eating in their camp
And feeling quiet dejected
Eyes still crying, sore and damp
Some safety rules neglected.
If you’re planning to go out
Then always tell someone
This is to remove the doubt
Of where the search begun.
