Teddy Bear Poems

Teddy Bear's Lament

Once when you were only two,
I used to sit right next to you,
I'd guard you bravely as you slept,
And comfort you each time you wept.

Bumpity-bump through mud and snow,
I followed everywhere you'd go,
But bruising bumps could not erase,
That silly grin upon my face.

Thumps and hugs and loving deeds

Are all that any Teddy needs.
Then one day you went to play

And left me all alone to stay,

To wait with patience by myself

Collecting dust upon your shelf.
Now I sit here in despair,
A very lonely Teddy Bear.

I hope that, having read my poem,
You'll soon come back to take me home.
'Cause loneliness is just enough,
To break my woolly heart of fluff.

By Tim Price

A Boy's Verse: To My Teddy

When I was only four days old

You came to live with me

And gave me all the love you hold

Quite unreservedly.

Oh Teddy Bear I still love thee

As much as I did then,

Though now we both are forty-three

And very nearly men.

Anon.

From Pelissier's Follies- 1909

I wish I had a Teddy Bear

To sit upon my knee.

I'd take him with me everywhere,

To cuddle up with me.

I'd scorn young men,

No lover then

My lot in life should share,

They might go to Jericho

If I'd a Teddy Bear.

Egbert and Me

At night when I lie fast asleep

My teddy, Egbert, wakes,

And sits upon my counterpane

Until the morning breaks.

He likes to see I get my rest,

For everybody's sakes,

So if the pirates smash the door

To steal away my toys

He fights them off with dirk and sword

But very little noise.

And if the one-eyed bogey-man

Comes breaking down the wall

He scares him off by looking fierce

But makes no sound at all.

And if the wailing ghost flies down

The chimney like a bird

He blows him back with mighty breaths

That simply can't be heard.

When, after slumbering, peacefully

I open up my eyes,

I see the sun come shining in

And find to my surprise

That Egbert's lost another ear

Upon some enterprise.

But when I ask him what he's done

He just looks smug and wise...

Anon.

My Teddy Bear

(Written to commemorate the 75th Birthday of the Teddy Bear)

He sits upon his pillowed throne

A joyous smile upon his face.

And though his ears may seem outgrown

He carries them with pride and grace.

He's never cross or quick to carp

A friend in need is he to me.

When human tongues are mean and sharp

My Teddy gives me sympathy.

To him I always bare my soul

He lifts me when I'm feeling low.

And when I brag and miss my goal

He never says, 'I told you so.'

My friends many titter gleefully

And some may tease, but I don't care.

I hope that I will never be

Too old to love my Teddy Bear.

The Teddy Bear's Picnic

The meadow's green, the flowers sweet,

and we have many good things to eat.

Ah, what a day! What lovely air!

How nice to be a Teddy Bear!

Pass the bread and pass the cheese.

Be sure to taste the chicken please.

Have an apple, plum or pear!

Such fun to be a Teddy Bear!

Bert's got his sailor shirt,

and Mae and Sue look awfully pert

in matching hats! I say! Such flair!

How fine to be a Teddy Bear!

"This afternoon I shall recall

for all my life," says Tiz to Paul.

"A perfect time without a care!"

How grand to be a Teddy Bear!
