Notes About The Poem

Stories At Teatime

My brother and I are well-loved Teddy Bears
We come from a line of fine Teddy Bear stock
Our human appears to have no worldly cares
She likes having tea parties and loves to talk

We come from a line of fine Teddy Bear stock
There's tea every morning, we both lend an ear
She likes having tea parties and loves to talk
No one's in a hurry, that's perfectly clear

There's tea every morning, we both lend an ear
Rebecca is sweet and tells stories so grand
No one's in a hurry, that's perfectly clear
When each story's done, we applaud as we stand

Rebecca is sweet and tells stories so grand
Our human appears to have no worldly cares
When each story's done, we applaud as we stand
My brother and I are well-loved Teddy Bears
