Davy Crockett - 1786-1836
According to the ballad,
Davy Crockett, born in Tennessee
(part of North Carolina at the time),
kilt him a b'ar when he was only three
(altho' only a song,
always had my doubts about cruelty to animals
from one so young).
Playing with it night and day, young Davy
should have taken more care
(had a hunting reputation),
he pulled the arms and legs off

MY BEST FRIEND, MAXINE THE FAIRY
Sunny yellow straw hats with ribbons and bows,
Butterflies that shine when the full moon glows,
Feather cushions scattered of bright pink and blue,
Buttercups and daises have such a magnificent hue,
The above are my dreams as I think of you.
Chocolates, candy and rainbow-colored gummies,
Fill us up and says no more for you to our tummies,
Kittens that

feelings toward her teddy bear
He was parked on top of a worn satchel in Omaha
In the middle of a train station, so lah-dee-dah
Where was his child? He began to scream for his ma.
She ran up and grabbed him by his fluffy padded paw
I told you he would wait for me she told her astounded mother.
He is more than my

Unwriting My Sister as a Teddy Bear
I’ve behaved poorly every winter
I can remember, my awfulness in each
separated only by degrees,
secrets piled like snowdrifts at the corners
of rooms I wouldn’t stay in.
Hiding was easier.
I stuffed myself in the closet
of our pit-city apartment—
walls infested with neighbors
tiptoeing through roach powder
caked like salt-circle prayers—
my sister above me, her small

To tell you I'm so sorry
Forget to hug you.

Teddy Bear
I smelled of lavenders when she first held me,
With her tiny hands and smile of a dove.
I became her best friend,
She would meet me day and night,
Feed me and put me to sleep.
I watched her grow into a woman,
She doesn't visit me so often now,
Only at nights as I lay there on the bed, hungry

Teddy is Jeremy
Why does a grown man have a teddy bear?
Is a piece of fluff a valuable memory?
It was an overcoat back then,
a seamstress worked so hard,
cut it up, shaped it, stuffed it,
and turned it into a teddy bear.
Yes, stuff that was fluff and yet
we give a toy a name and talk to it,
say good morning or
"Hi,

Titch
So easy to call him Titch.
He's just a tiny teddy-bear.
Yet I, a grown-up man,
feel a strange affection.
Affection, yes, for something fluffy,
and all you can do is look at it,
talk to it – or should I say “him”? –
and leave it on a shelf, table, desk.
Ah, yes, so much history:
Theodore Roosevelt.
He hated the name Teddy,
but folk

Teddy Bear Protects Her
teddy bear watched over her while she slept
we were grateful she had him in the hospital
so many hours, so many treatments, so much pain
when she went to heaven, we imagined him with her
protecting her in the midst of heaven as he had in life
it gave us a tiny bit of comfort to see him in

Age Ain'T Nothing But a Woman, Ain'T Nothing But a Teddy Bear
Age ain't nothing but a woman, ain't nothing but a teddy bear
--a teddy bear that wears a frown and a skull cap
tin plated hooves cannot cease the evening doctrines of
the schizophrenic mind
but what ails you the most is not the ailment but the advisory
of being disabled in the head
disabled of the mind...
yeah, life's not

Teddy Bear Picnic Made In Heaven
teddy bear picnic was in full swing this warm afternoon
six fluffy buddy bears were lively, funny, fully in tune.
laughter ringing around the meadow was crazy happy
they laughed at old stories they all knew; they were so sappy!
war heroes don’t usually come back in such wonderful spirits one said.
these aren’t regular bears, they are angels, no

My Little Sleep Buddy
Time to relax
Time to stop
Time to rest
Keep your eyes close...
Telling stories, taking the teddy close to heart
My soft and brown bear
Shopping beautiful dreams from the cart
Love you a lot my dear...
My sleeping buddy
You are my old friend
Mumma-Papa brought you home
Gifted to me to make me glad...
I cry, laugh & share my secrets with you
Can't call

Immediately the child and the bear connect
and the parents soon become aware
how the two of them are inseparable…
the child and his teddy bear.
But a child grows up…a teddy bear

And her most adventurous schemes.

The Bear Party
The Bear Party
You, me, and Teddy makes three,
but there will be far more,
when I open the Marmalade jar,
and barely crack the door.
The party is just getting started.
The Tea Tree is ready.
Decorated from the base to the peak,
there is not a leaf unadorned.
Each...

and light,
