Furry Bear
By A.A. Milne

If I were a bear,
And a big bear too,
I shouldn't mind much care
If it froze or snew;
I shouldn't much mind
If it snowed or frizz –
I'd be all fur-lined
With a coat like his!
For I'd have fur boots and a brown fur wrap,
And brown fur knickers and a brown fur cap.
I'd have a fur muffle-ruff to cover my jaws,
And brown fur mittens on my big brown paws.
With a big brown furry-down up to my head,
I'd sleep all winter in a big fur bed.

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't very fuzzy,
Was he?


Mine
By Gill Davies

He may not be as beautiful
As a lot of Teds you see
He isn't new with ribbons
Or as big as big can be
He's small and old and tired
With a bandage round his knee
But he's really truly special
'Cos he all belongs to me.


My Teddy
By Marcia Bruan

Teddy Bear hugs
And Teddy Bear kisses;
Teddy Bear dreams
And Teddy Bear wishes.
O what a wonderful friend indeed,
My Teddy Bear is so special to me.


A Teddy bear is a faithful friend.
You can pick him up at either end.
His fur is the color of breakfast toast,
And he's always there when you need him most.

Here sits my Teddy bear, all tattered and torn.
Everybody loves him even though he's so worn.
His body is floppy, his hair is a mess.
But I love him dearly and he loves me best.
