Theodore

Children love teddy bears
They keep them company
Children imagine that they are real
And they can feel, hear and see

Teddies are a child's best friend
Be it girl or boy
Many children have Teddys'
They are their favourite toy

Children tell their Teddy's everything
All their worries and cares
Nobody agrees with children
Like their Teddy bears

They can say outrageous things
And don't get a smack
They can whisper secrets
As bears' can't answer back

A child can dress their bear in clothes
Tie coloured ribbons around their ears
And cuddle up to their Teddys'
To take away their fears

When a child grows up
And Teddy's not needed anymore
They will always be remembered
The bears' named after Theodore

lol ... Typical of all boys, they are obviously past the whispering of secrets to their teddies ... my husband really appreciated your comment he thought it was very amusing. How are they coping with being housebound, I think you and your wife should take cover... lol...
