Don’t poke that bear

Please hug him and squeeze him
Cuddles will please him
But don’t poke that bear…

You may tickle his paws 
He won’t extend his claws 
But don’t poke that bear…

He may seem so stuffy 
So incredibly fluffy 
But don’t poke that bear…

His eyes intensely staring 
He loves your kind caring 
But don’t poke that bear…

His ears are so upright 
He’s staid, toffy, uptight 
But don’t poke that bear…

At night while you’re dreaming 
He’s silently screaming 
Please poke that bear…

His secret I’ll tell you 
Please listen well too 
You may poke that bear…

Because if you do
This fun will ensue 
So poke that bear, beware…

Poke that big teddy bear 
Right in his fat tummy 
Get ready for fun dear…

He’ll wake from his deep sleep
Rumble from his deep inner
You’ll find he’s a grinner…

And when the room tumbles 
His fluff with escape 
In the greatest big puff… 

Watch as his eyes fly open
His paws will be groping 
To tickle you right back…

Together you’ll tumble 
Rolling around with such glee 
Please believe me you’ll see…

I know cos I’ve tried it 
Though I’ve tried to avoid it 
Even I cannot hide it…

Though I’m old and grey
I have had my day but
This fun still lingers inside of me!

Gone again

She’s gone again 
As she came 
Needing peace 
Until she lays the blame

Why does she do it?
Why is there so much pain?
When will she grow up? 
And actually share the blame 

As her mother I gave her all
Never held back 
Never complained 
Until I felt that lack

No respect, no love 
Ah God in heaven above 
She’s stabbed in the knife
It’s hurting all over again
