Teddy Bears On Holiday

Teddy Bears on holiday. The Teddy Bears marched one and all Smartly through the Hotel Hall. With Ted in front Freddy last They raised a smile from all they passed. “Look lively now” was Lionel’s cry And moving quicker they did try. Rupert shouted “Feet are sore” Lisa told him “Not much more” Out to the sunshine 5 did go So smart they looked it made a show. Upon the bellowed “Stop” command They all stood still held hand in hand. So Lionel “What’s to do for fun Whilst we have this warming sun” “A water game might suit the bill With buckets, foam and slopping hill.” An hour spent with plastic sheeting Pegs and rope and planning meeting. A slide was made both smooth and turning Liquid need, stop the burning. Water down, poured from the top All stepped on, no chance to stop. A pile was made with 5 bears twisted With screams and giggles, bottoms blistered. Freddy first to wiggle free Then Rupert wrapped round Lionel’s knee. Lisa, Ted were both upended Knickers shown, no one offended. That day they all had such a game To stop and tidy, such a shame. But memories, once made like this We keep forever, simply bliss.
