Avery Won Poet Monorhyme

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
