Patchy Bear

 

I'm a roly-poly

plump teddy bear

with a lopsided smile

and gold coloured fur

 

I've lost my growl

and a lot of hair

I'm old and I'm bald

and my fur has gone bare

 

but I love to be cuddled

and snuggle in bed

I need someone to say

You're my very best Ted

 

I like listening to stories

to dance and to play

I can keep secrets

and I'll do what you say

 

I need someone special

a friend just like you

so take care of me

and I'll take care of you.
