Ben’s Brown Bear <br /> <br /> <br />Aunt Amelia Alderson <br />Bought Ben a big brown bear <br />Calling it Claude, he cuddled it <br />‘Don’t dropp it, ’ Daddy did declare. <br /> <br /> <br />Engulfed in evil energy <br />Far he flung his furry friend <br />‘Go get, ’ he giggled gleefully <br />‘Him on hall hooks held.’ <br /> <br /> <br />Inside each innocent infant <br />Japes justified, jokes are jolly <br />Kidding kindly kinfolk <br />Laughing lips on a lemon lolly. <br /> <br /> <br />Mum is not mesmerised by mischief <br />‘No, now you know that’s naughty’ <br />Often over indulgence <br />Produces parents with pesky progeny <br /> <br /> <br />Quickly quelling quarrels <br />Reason restored, no row to rue <br />Saucy son soon somnolent <br />Teddy bear tucked in too <br /> <br /> <br />Understanding under fives <br />Volatile, vexing, it’s a vocation <br />When with work and worry you’re weary <br />X-pect x-pence and x-asperation <br /> <br /> <br />Yet you yourself were once young too <br />Zany zoology, we’re all zippies in a zoo.<br /><br />Irene C S ClarkHogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ben-s-brown-bear/
