Teddy looked sad, forlorn cold and bare Sat on the bed with nothing to wear So aunty got out her knitting pins To knit Teddy some warm cosy things. First came a jumper in shades of blue Then some trousers, the same colour too Also a scarf, a hat and some mitts To please Pip, her young nephew that is. Aunty knitted all day and all night To please her Pip in the morning light And to delight his Teddy bear too They mean the world to her do those two. Teddy looked dapper in his outfit Pip was thrilled and gave aunty a kiss Teddy thanked her with a cheeky wink Aunty blushed, but she was tickled pink.

The joys of being an aunty. Sounds like you made them both quite happy, Belle. I enjoyed the story told through your poetry, my friend. Hugs, Bill

Thank you poet pal Bill, having no children of my own I like to think I’ve been a good aunty, my husband was a wonderful uncle too. I used do lots of knitting for them … Belle

Im loving those rhymes and what a cute and soul warming poem is this. I loved it. It brought back childhood memories when i used to dress up teddies and barbies haha nostalgic! This poem needs to be read by many so unique and original and so very well crafted it is! Beautiful

Thank you Ink, I’ve been knitting therapy teddies for children and those suffering dementia and that was the inspiration for this poem. Bless you, Belle

WoW! Belle, You have penned such a delightful “ story” book. Good heartwarming ending. This would be a good picture book for children and “ children at heart”. Well done. Have a wonderful evening.

Hi Belle, Maybe you could go on YouTube or the Internet. You find out a lot of things on the internet and YouTube. I enjoyed your poem:-)Alexis

A page in a story book would be fine, I could get all my poems for children together in a book, but how to go about it I don’t know. Thank you Alexis. Belle-:)
