My Teddy

a cuddly bear
I used to sleep with at night
sold at a yard sale -
wonder who loves him now
if anyone

I was waiting to see if this was a naughty nightie or a bear. heehee. I had a bear called Pinky Winky. He drowned in the toilet and mom tossed him. But I'd rather she had washed him for me. You can never replace a dear teddy bear. My mom tried but I never liked the new one. Cute one, too, btw.

A sweet poem. Most of us had Teddies as kids. I remember my old, battered teddy...don't know what became of him. Love, Robert.
