Teddy Bear Ghost Story
The Teddy Bears got up today
All washed and brushed their hair.
They sat around to eat some food
With all their thoughts elsewhere.
A special day ahead was planned
Involving Lionel’s car.
With hats and coats and picnic made
and Freddie’s new guitar.
They set off on the motorway
At a quarter past eleven.
Cruising in the middle lane
Just near the River Seven.
The weathers good the sun did shine
There were no clouds in sight.
They parked up in a farmer’s field
And set camp for the night.
Sitting near a blazing fire
With sausages on prongs.
Freddy tried to play along
While Lisa sang some songs.
At evening time the moon came up
A mist softly descended.
Ghost stories that were being told
More scary than intended.
In amongst the twisted trees
Soft breeze was gently blowing.
A light was seen by all around
Floating-moving-glowing.
They wished they hadn’t started this
The bears were getting scared.
Rupert hiding in his tent
None of them prepared.
What happened next we can’t be sure
A cold wind whistled through.
The fire went out, the tent collapsed
A Ghost came into view.
“Hello you lots let have some fun”
The apparition said.
It whooshed and swooped and dived and slid
And landed on its head
“We’ve never met a Ghost before”
Our Ted was bravely speaking.
All the others in their beds
With only Lisa peeking.
“It’s been very nice to meet you
Ted was now explaining
“Best you go back to your space”
And leave whilst night remaining.
When Ted was back within his tent
The other bears were cheering
They knew that when they went to sleep
No Ghost would use their clearing.
They got up in the early morn
And quickly cleared away.
Back in the car to take them home
New adventures everyday.
