Nursery Rhyme - the Hunkydory Bear

I will tell a funny story of a bear that's hunkydory How 'e lives a life of comfort in a pickle on a tree When the summer comes 'e fishes, an' 'e eats 'em off o' dishes Till the day 'e ran in 'orror from 'is shadow on the sea So 'e trundled of gallumphing, till 'e couldn't run for 'uffing And 'e settled down in Puddington where honeyed puddings grow There 'e lived a life so royal, till his dream began to spoil For 'e longed to have a mamma bear with cubby bears in tow 'E trotted to the pickle-tree, that shady spot beside the sea An' asked about if any knew his fav'rite childhood chum 'Is special bear at last 'e found, and knelt upon the berry-ground An' there besought if she would be a wifey bear and mum A mummey bear she'd gladly be, she'd mend 'is clothes and make 'is tea And have as many fuzzy bairns as God saw fit to bless So off they went to Pudding Town, the bear and wife, now Mrs. Brown Which place they 'ad their little bairns, and lived in 'appiness First place in Nursery Rhyme contest.

This is SO sweet, and you have written these lines with such a deft hand. They flow perfectly, seeming effortless - yet I know that so many clever rhymes must have taken time and considertation. Great job, Isaiah! (And thanks for my placement in your contest - I'm thrilled that you liked my poem!)
