Ted -Beloved Gift

We have walked so many roads together
 Through sunny afternoons on dusty pathways with the breeze;
Traveled many miles through your fourteen years
 To grassy fields of dogs shows where you became a champion;
Now the minutes and the miles - precious memories -
 Playing Sandy in a production of Annie - never missed a cue;
To carry with me as I go my way
 Your joy for life my forever companion;
You taught my heart the music of a love song
 As you jumped up each day to greet me with a wet kiss;
Then sang each word to leave it in my heart
 With a wagging tail in a celebration of perpetual motion;
When my road gets long, I will sing your song
 Of chasing squirrels and toys - rolling over to scratch your back on the lawn;
Remembering my gift of God 
 Theodore Edgar Bear - your name means gift of God;
Now the time for us to part on an August day
 Too soon to go our separate ways;
I pray that as you close your loving eyes
 You hear your creator say to you;
Beloved - I cherish you - creation of my heart
 Beloved - Precious one - Good and faithful friend.

For Hullabaloo the Masked Man - Champion Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier - Mr. Ted


Premium Member Sky Ted

Every teddy knows that every girl and and every boy
Needs to have a teddy who will be their pride and joy
A teddy bear companion in the life of him or her
Will be a snuggle buddy even when they’ve lost their fur

For when a bear is truly loved its fur will start to wear
A sure sign that that cherished bear was carried everywhere
And snuggled with your bear at night when mum turns out the light
There is no need to fear the dark with teddy cuddled tight

But wait, I hear you say, what if you haven’t got a bear
The truth is there’s a bear for everybody, everywhere
But there’s no Santa Claus for those who never think to ask
So bears are brought to children by a teddy in a mask

Sky Ted lives upon a cloud, he has a telescope
He uses it to see through ceilings in persistent hope
That every child he finds will have a bear to help him cope
But Sky Ted takes corrective action when his scope says, “Nope.”

For rainbows don’t just happen; Sky Ted makes them with a wish 
And rides down on a unicorn to visit little kids
So if you haven’t got a bear, there’s no need to complain
For Sky Ted distributes his teddies, even in the rain

But Sky Ted has a schedule that will sometimes leave him beat
And one or two of you have bears you think you’ll never meet
For it’s a great big world and Sky Ted truly does his best
But there's a teddy looking down, with your name on its vest

So if you’re too old for a bear (which never shall be true)
You sense someone, but no-one’s there - your bear is watching you
So hug the bear you have; if you have none then just pretend
For wherever your bear may be, he’s there and he’s your friend

For every child that’s ever born, a teddy bears their name
And Sky Ted’s making rainbows, which to him is not a game
So whether you be four or forty, even ninety eight
Your bear will one day find you: All you need to do is wait.

Premium Member Not Ted Surely

No way I can be happy, she said in a weird way.
We imagined she was kidding, this goddess of play. 
Smirking with a silly grin that was not dissipating. 
For where was the Cheshire face originating? 

Come on! Tell! We insisted, dying to hear the story.
Okay, she said. Know that new guy named Tory?
We began screaming and oohing for he was a fox.
To break into his walls would be like conquering Fort Knox. 

No way! We screamed, and she shushed us all the way to church.
He sat in the next pew, where we peered at him on perch. 
They were so cute together, they could not keep smiling at all.
We lived vicariously through their love story, nothing small.

Singing, dancing, playing all took a backseat now for our friend.
The joy she exuded included us. The happy feelings could not end.
This was thirty years ago, and they are still together in every way.
When we get together, their love song helps us all have a better day.

Premium Member Ted Talk

Biology TED talk, Ken Burns WWII
Multiple choice plus open response =
Teacher cares, out there among the English
Mathematics, fractions to imaginary i

Anything can happen any time, I mean
Mass killing--public school, movie theater,
Post office when every mother wears a gun
Yet happiness permeates like CO2 + sunlight

Photosynthesis + electricity = burning bush
Hot tea, hot shower pleasure perfect rest
Early to bed, no more lies, complexity
Poetry about history, i.e. Wolfowitz

As for non-fiction, most things qualify to know
Astrobiology, search for LUCA, FLO
Minerals on Titan, organisms on Enceladus
Divination on Iapetus, peace on Earth and Tethys

Volcanoes and tsunamis, Big Red One and Private Ryan
Don't stay up late, take your vitamins
Sin and crime being nothing more than
Mental malaise, imbalance. Love and compromise

Tolerance, practice worksheets, brilliance
Prejudice and superstition, Tha's a wrap
Nothin doin, ain't gonna happen, freedom's when
Yes is mostly a blessing and No is always an option

The Abuse Of Sylvia Plyth By Poet Husband Ted Hughes

In her frail hands, she held the flame,
A flicker bright, yet bound to fade—
Her words, like stars, her heart aflame,
Her soul, a scarred and shadowed glade.

Beneath the weight of unseen chains,
She sang her sorrow, soft and low,
While in his eyes were cold remains
Of love long buried in the snow.

He turned from her, a shadow cast,
A silent specter, dark and near,
While each small wound became her last,
Her tender voice gave way to fear.

Yet still she wrote, with trembling pen,
A warrior lost, but fighting still,
Each verse, a scream of might, and then
A wish to bend the world to will.

But oh, his silence crushed her soul,
His hands withheld both love and light,
And in the end, she paid the toll—
Her flame was lost into the night.


Premium Member Her First Date With Ted

I would give an arm and a leg to see him, she said.
She was going to meet a new guy by name of Ted.
Only time will tell if things will turn out okay.
I am weak as a kitten, I heard my friend say.

At the end of the date she had the time of her life.
She expected this guy Ted to make her his wife.
I said, I hope you did not speak of your crazy short leg.
No, she nodded. I avoided that like the plague.

I took the tiger by the tail, she told me smugly.
Thought outside the box, called myself May Puggly.
There are plenty of fish in the sea, I reminded her.
Just in case the expected outcome did not occur.

It is as plain as the nose on my face she said later.
He was not much of a man, a notorious dater.
He is now as dead as a doornail me, that hack!
Was she actually the pot calling the kettle black?

Time sure did fly when I was having fun.
But now that he has stood me up, this creep had better run!

Ang TED sa Puso Ko



Ang TED sa puso ko ay parang Lireo ng Encantadia

Bughaw ang simbolong kulay nila

Narito ang mga Sanggre o dugong bughaw ng Encapsudia

Danaya/Dela Cruz, Amihan/Arriola, Pirena/Penson, Alena/Araneta



Ang TED sa puso ko ay parang Terran sa Starcraft na laro

Bughaw ang sagisag na kulay ng mga ito

Nais nila ang pangunguna at pamumuno

Nasa dugo ng lahing tao – katangian ng pagiging guro



Ang TED sa puso ko ang nagturo sa akin

Kung paano ang pagiging guro ay tangkilikin at mahalin

Mag-aaral higit sa lahat ang dapat unahin

Responsibilidad sa klase ang dapat atupagin



Ang TED sa puso ko ay parang Terran at Lireo

Dito ko nadama ang pangarap kong totoo

Ang maging tao na makaguro, ang maging guro na makatao

Salamat sa mga taga-TED na naging bahagi ng buhay ko!

Premium Member The Babe, Ted Williams, and the Mick

Remembering the days way back when
Baseball was what made life tick
Lived and breathed that wonderful game
With the Babe, Ted Williams, and the Mick

Jackie Robinson breaking the colour barrier
Sweet memories inhabit my brain
Jackie was the absolute first hero of mine
Brought equality to this time honoured game

Stan Musial, Bob Feller, and Joe DiMaggio
From a much simpler era, these names
When salaries hadn't yet become astronomical
They played for the love of the game

How many remember the powerhouse Yankees
Every year the cream of the crop
They were always a perpetual Series contender
Seemed like the Yanks were always on top

Those days are gone but sure not forgotten
In the recesses of this old mind
Can still see Ted hitting one over the fence
In my mind, it's nineteen-forty nine

Premium Member Os Ted Briggs

Floating, adrift in icy water; like discarded driftwood
(his Commander, Warrand, bravely stepped aside to let him pass)
the sole survivor so thought Ted; of the proud and mighty Hood.
Then came Bill, and Bob, three, from one thousand four hundred eighteen
ripped and torn apart from Admirals to seamen second class.
Brave souls all, who crossed the bar that day, a crew, a brotherhood
through a flaw in Hood's design. They knew; The Royal Navy brass.




Just before 06:00 on 24th May 1941, HMS Hood was struck by several German shells, exploded, and sank within 3 minutes, with the loss of all but three of her crew of 1418; Midshipman William Dundas, Able Seaman Bob Tilburn, and Ordinary Signalman Ted Briggs. The British Admiralty was aware of her vulnerable deck armour
