Pride of Place

Dear Old Humphrey, Teddy Bear My parents won you at the fair For years they sat you over there In mom's old leather rocking chair Deep inside the basement lair His eyes so large, they seemed to stare But I can’t take him anywhere ‘Cause I can’t lift an 8 foot bear 2/2/22 Pride of Place Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Julia Ward
