We Go So Fur

Freeverse

You’re so much artificial fur.

You, little bear, do not communicate,

not a word, not a single utterance.

Yet I speak to you, tap your nose,

pat your head - gently, of course.

 

I call you Mr Titch - yes, a name!

You have been at table with me,

sitting in a bar, I with others.

Should I have said we?

Yes, we were with others, yes we.

 

Now I watch, almost mischievously.

I observe with a slightly naughty eye.

Each pal will pat your nose,

tap your head, smile at you.

Yet you are so much artificial fur.

Endearing write. Teddy bears aren’t just for children. The grown up children like them too. Nice uplifting write Andrew. Happy Friday.

Thanks, Chris. An old twit still has teddy bears. And I say thanks to President Theodore Roosevelt.
