Worthless Bear

A cuddly toy Mr Edward Bear
a boy's comfort joy and fresh air,
lost his ear one stormy night
the dog jumped in to bed in fright,
the button on his neck gone where?

Did the frightened dog eat the button too, or shall it forever remain an un-solved mystery? Funny stuff Harry and thanks for the laugh! - Tim
